🤝 Co hosted by GenAI Fund and HSBC
As the global AI landscape shifts rapidly, Southeast Asia is becoming one of the most exciting regions for AI builders and enterprises alike. We are bringing together a curated group of AI founders, engineers, and enterprise architects for an evening of honest conversation about what's actually working in production, what's breaking, and what's next.
This meetup is about the people actually deploying. No sales pitches. No slide-deck theory. Just real technical sharing and practical connections.
Why attend?
🤝 Meet the HSBC Team: Connect with innovation leaders from HSBC, one of the world's largest banking and financial services organizations, serving over 40 million customers across 60+ countries, as they explore how AI is transforming global banking and financial services. A rare chance to step inside their office and understand how a global financial institution at this scale is approaching AI adoption.
👨💻 Builders Only: Everyone in the room is actively building or deploying. Whether you're optimizing your AI infrastructure, evaluating new models, or scaling your product across the region, come share your progress and the hurdles you're clearing.
⭐ Global Intelligence, Regional Network: Tap into a network that spans the top AI labs and startups in SEA. With massive curiosity growing around regionalized models, this is where you find the partners and talent currently leading the shift.
