Exclusive BT International Invitation
Dear Tech Leaders,
Asia's technology landscape is shifting fast. AI is rewriting the rules, digital sovereignty is climbing every boardroom agenda, and the infrastructure decisions being made today will define how organisations operate for the next decade.
We'd like to invite you to BT Exchange Singapore , part of our global Exchange series bringing together senior technology leaders, customers and partners in the markets that matter most.
Taking place on Tuesday, 29 September at KOMA, Marina Bay Sands , in conjunction with Tech Week Singapore 2026 - one of Asia's most important weeks for the technology community and the ideal moment to step back from the day-to-day and think about what's ahead.
This year also marks 75 years of BT in Singapore . It's a milestone that invites reflection - on how far enterprises and the infrastructure connecting them have come, but more importantly, on what the next few decades will demand of the leaders and organisations navigating an era of unprecedented complexity.
What the Evening will Explore
- The real enterprise impact of AI: beyond the hype, what's changing in how organisations architect, connect and secure their operations
- Navigating digital sovereignty and compliance complexity across multi-country environments
- Building resilience into global networks and infrastructure when geopolitical disruption is the norm
- How partnerships between enterprises, technology providers and connectivity platforms are evolving to meet what's next
You'll be in the room with CIOs, CISOs, heads of infrastructure and senior technology leaders from global and regional enterprises - peers who are navigating the same complexity. We're curating the guest list deliberately to make sure the conversations are worth your evening.
