About What's Next
​
Themed "What's Next?", it is a series of events and workshops centred around learning and open discussions.
​
In this series, we bring thought leaders together to discuss trends- from Asia's perspective. We want to spark conversations around trends of all topics — from science to business to global issues.
​
We believe that in order to build an inclusive and open community, we need to adopt a culture of constant learning and sharing ideas.
It's Not Complicated​ 2018
We took a closer look at blockchain technology as it overcomes its post-hype slump and matures into a platform for mass adoption. How does this impact Asia?
We put together a panel with some prominent blockchain experts in Asia to talk about application of blockchain, also hoping we can attract more females to walk alongside males and discover blockchain.

What's Next, Asia?​ 2018
In the first quarter of 2018, we looked into what are the next trends and possibilities for Asia from the eyes of an entrepreneur, HR leader and an expat- we heard their personal stories, challenges and experiences. We also explored how women in Asia can lead together with men. Changing the future starts with us and we need to start a conversation now to create an Asia we want to be a part of.

​
What are the challenges faced by Women in Asia, and how these experiences or challenges compare to those in the Western world. Do we face issues like traditional societal hierarchy, cultural differences and gender-role struggles despite living in the most developed cities? What does it mean to be a women leader in arts, banking, education, consulting and fashion worlds?
