Trung Tran
I'm the n8n ambassador for Ho Chi Minh City. My job here is simple: connect the people already using n8n in real work, keep the meetups small enough that everyone gets to speak, and make sure newcomers leave with their first working workflow.
If you'd like to share a case study, host a meetup at your office, or you're just looking for people to learn alongside — message me.

// FAQ
Frequently asked questions
I've never used n8n — can I still come?
Yes. Every session includes a beginner walkthrough and mentors who sit with newcomers. Bring a laptop and one repetitive task you'd like to automate.
Is there a fee?
No. Everything the community runs is free. Venue and refreshments are covered by the host company or sponsors.
Do I need a team for the hackathon?
Not at all. Teams of 2–4 are formed on the day around the topics you're interested in. If you already have a team, list your members when you register.
What language are the sessions in?
Vietnamese is the main language. Slides and workflow templates keep the English terminology so the n8n docs stay easy to follow.
Who do I contact about speaking or sponsoring?
Email the ambassador directly using the link at the bottom of this page, with the topic or the kind of support you have in mind. Slots are usually confirmed 3–4 weeks ahead.
