Raise your glasses to more networking opportunities at TIA SG 2016!

Night-crawl

If you can’t get enough of the six content stages, hearing from 80 plus incredible speakers, and visiting hundreds of startup booths for the day, fret not. When the stage lights dim at Tech in Asia Singapore 2016 for the day, all’s not over. Hop on to the after party at Night Crawl where the networking fun is just getting started!

While one might typically expect the structured networking sessions such as Startup-Investor Speed Dating to reap the most results, don’t be too quick to dismiss the informal chit chat.

A past conference attendee, Stuart Lansdale and founder of RoomFilla, shared with us his experience of how he caught up with someone who popped by his startup booth earlier in the day over drinks. While no business transaction transpired during the post-conference networking session, they managed to stay friends and met up again five months later. Eventually, this friend invested in Stuart’s startup.

Case in point: while you might not be able to shake hands on a deal immediately, you never know how the new friends you clink glasses with might just open new doors, either now or in the near future. If nothing, at least you’ll have a good time – and it doesn’t hurt that Singapore is home to one of Asia’s most vibrant nightlife scene. The best way to unwind after a day’s worth of hard work and get to know the city if you ask us!

Night Crawl is sponsored by Braintree Payments and Innoven Capital – if you want to meet representatives from these two exciting brands, don’t miss the party!

Day 1: Vatos – South Beach Quarter

The first stop for day one’s Night Crawl is a popular Korean-Mexican restaurant brand originating from South Korea. It’s housed in a historic building along Beach Road, and recently opened doors last September.

This bar housed in a conserved building is super chill – the perfect place to catch up with that bunch of conference attendees you got to know in the day. Come here hungry by all means, Vatos is often raved about for their tacos and out of the world drinks!

## Day 2: Acid Bar, Alley Bar at Orchard Cuppage

Located in Orchard Road, the heart of the city, Acid Bar features a relaxing atmosphere where you can groove along to tunes by acoustic resident bands. For a change in mood, slip over to Alley Bar located right beside the former. The bar keeps their bustling crowd tapping their feet to the sound of deep house and lounge beats.
