Frequently Asked Questions

Transforming Space with
Cutting-Edge Architectural Solutions

Do I need to know how to use a smartphone before attending?

No. This event is designed for beginners. We’ll start with the basics and work at a comfortable pace.

Can I bring my own phone?

Yes. Bring the phone currently being used so there can be hands-on practice with its actual settings and features.

Do I have to switch to a smartphone?

No. The choice is completely yours. This event simply shows what a smartphone can do so you can decide what works best for you.

What if I decide not to switch?

That’s okay. A flip phone can still handle calls and basic texts. The goal is to understand the differences—not pressure anyone to change.
