KUALA LUMPUR, Nov. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Powered by Catcha Group, the region's premier tech conference - Wild Digital Southeast Asia 2020, is taking place this 3-6 November 2020! The 4-day conference will be fully virtual for the first time - with an expected 3000+ attendees, 180+ speakers and 30+ hours of content.
Wild Digital SEA 2020 is set to be the biggest virtual tech conference in the region
This 6th edition is reflective of a year of constant, and at times, exhaustive changes. However, we are seeing an even more vibrant tech ecosystem in Southeast Asia emerging from this pandemic. Our structure and content format might be different this time, but nothing has stopped us from gathering the region's top internet players, entrepreneurs, founders, chief executives and investors for another phenomenal #WildDigital experience!
"Like many others, we found ourselves scrambling to adjust as our flagship conference kept getting new dates later and later into the year," said Patrick Grove, Catcha Group CEO & Co-Founder. "But, here we are. Bigger and better! We're gearing up for what will be the biggest virtual event in the region, and hopefully break another record this year!
Right now, we are witnessing first-hand the effects of remote working, the boom of ecommerce platforms, the rise of telehealth and other tech-centric impacts on the collective community. We're excited to bring these topics to the fore on our Main Stage."
We're no longer limited by location, and as such, we're able to gather even more top-tier speakers from around the region. Some of the speakers include (bit.ly/SEA20-speakers):
With so many eminent speakers, what of Wild Digital's signature networking sessions? Don't worry, because we'll be having virtual networking lounges for our attendees to mingle in, as well as the ability for attendees to schedule 1:1 video meetings with whomever they chose to network with!
A platform to highlight disruptive startups
Southeast Asia has a vibrant, young and tech-savvy population, and the potential for us to become the Silicon Valley of Asia is immense! One of our main aims has always been to showcase and support the most disruptive and innovative startups in the region. We want to be the launching pad where they can pitch their billion-dollar ideas in front of leading investors, mentors, senior executives and media during our conference.
We have once again partnered exclusively with Startup World Cup to organise Startup Disruptor Arena (SDA) - a highly-anticipated live pitching session where we've seen some of the region's most innovative startups battle it out. We're gearing for a bigger, better experience - SDA will be the SEA regionals, and the winner will go on to compete at Startup World Cup in Silicon Valley next year for a Grand Investment Prize of USD1million!
Startup World Cup is helmed by Pegasus Tech Ventures, a US Silicon Valley VC, and consists of a global series of startup conferences and pitch competitions that spread across 40+ countries. More information on Startup Disruptor Arena here.
To make our online conference experience even better for our attendees, we have launched an ALL NEW #STARTUPSHOWCASE initiative as a bonus feature for participating startups! For the first time, startups may apply for complimentary virtual booths to network and promote their product directly to the C-suites and top level executives that will be in attendance! This initiative is only available with purchase of our Startup Promo package. Find out more about the #StartupShowcase initiative here.
