DTW Events · 2026 calendar live
Rooms built around the work — not the panels.
One flagship summit in Singapore. A four-city roadshow. Invitation-only roundtables across Asia. And a public calendar of the lot. The DTW Events team curates each room so the conversation in it is one you'd actually pay to be in.

◆ Sample programme
A Roadshow evening, hour by hour
Same shape in every city: one regional keynote, one local panel, one operator-only dinner. The local conversation drives the panel — the dinner drives the relationships.
17:30Doors & welcome reception. Drinks and small bites; the live data wall opens.
18:00Regional keynote · 25 min. Le Ha My or a DTW editor frames the year — what shifted, what's coming.
18:30Local panel · 45 min. 3-4 local founders + investors on the city's specific tech moment.
19:30Operator-only dinner · 2 hours. Tables of 10, mixed by sector. Tablecards prompt real topics.
21:30Open-bar mixer. Dessert, drinks, and the half-hour the room actually meets.
Format №03 · Roundtables · 24/year · year-round
Roundtables · the room is the product
Invitation-only · 12-25 senior operators · Chatham House rules optional. Curated by topic, not by company.
The DTW roundtable format exists for one reason: in tech, the most useful conversations happen with twelve to twenty-five people around a table, off-the-record, on a topic narrow enough that everyone in the room is qualified to speak. We curate that room. The topic narrows the invitations; the invitations make the room honest.
Sessions run 90 minutes to 3 hours. Always with a moderator. Always with named expectations about what's on the record. Most produce a published "what we heard" note within seven days — co-edited with the participants who want to be quoted.
◆ Suggest a topic
The next roundtable starts with a question
If you have a topic Asia tech operators need to talk about, propose it. We pick ~6 reader-suggested topics every quarter.
