It was gettin’ hot in here (both literally and figuratively). Subsequently, we turned the A/C a few notches down, we hope our attendees felt cooler!

Tech in Asia Jakarta 2016 was a resounding success – but only with the combined efforts of every attendee, volunteer, speaker, sponsor, and partner for making this year’s conference an unforgettable experience for our ever-growing community. As our fifth flagship conference comes to a close, we’re setting our sights on the next one.

May 17 & 18, #tiasg2017. Mark those dates.
