Builders Happy Hours HCMC
About Event
Event Introduction
The Builders Happy Hour is the official evening side event of Conviction 2026, powered by APAC DAO, Utila and Unlimit. It's a relaxed gathering for builders, sponsors, and attendees to connect directly over drinks and practical sharing, away from the stage and the schedule.
Format
Check-in. Arrive, grab a drink, and start meeting the room before things kick off.
Sharing by co-hosts and co-sponsors
Open networking. The best part: no agenda, just drinks, conversation, and the connections that actually matter.
What to Expect
An easygoing evening built for real conversation: drinks, project sharing worth sticking around for, and networking as the sun goes down. Come to meet sponsors and fellow builders directly, no pitching required.
