Smarter growth in a tough market The central panel, Smarter Growth in a Tough Market, looks beyond revenue to examine the people, costs, systems, technology and working practices that support sustainable growth. Speakers from three very different industries will share real decisions, difficult trade-offs and lessons from scaling: - Jaruwat Laohawisit, Managing Director at Pet Protect and Pet Protect Food / Kaniva, will discuss building a Thai pet-food brand to compete with major market players, including decisions around products, costs, sales channels and team development. - Rawit Hanutsaha, CEO of Srichand United Dispensary and founder of Mission To The Moon Media, will cover Srichand’s journey from domestic growth to international competition, and how the cost of mistakes increases as a company expands. - CK Cheong, CEO of Fastwork, will explore investment, systems and team building when speed creates opportunity but mistimed growth carries significant costs. The programme also includes business case studies focused on controlling costs and improving productivity. Attendees can expect actionable perspectives they can take back to their own organisations, particularly around reducing complexity and creating more agile operations.

⌖ Bangkok · The Deck Bangkok

Hosted by The MarTech Collective

Explore how AI can be implemented responsibly in healthcare at this practical expert session in Bangkok on 16 September 2026. AI is advancing faster than many organisations can absorb it, but healthcare faces an especially demanding challenge: innovation must work alongside regulation, patient safety and trust. This September session from The MarTech Collective moves beyond abstract promises to examine how a global healthcare organisation approaches AI adoption in the real world. Inside responsible AI adoption The featured speaker is Alan Tan, Global Enterprise Architect at Roche, a strategic technology leader with extensive experience in technology delivery, digital transformation and enterprise architecture. He has led complex transformation initiatives across Asia Pacific and now works with Roche’s commercial and technology leadership to align technology strategy, architecture and governance with business priorities in a highly regulated healthcare environment. Alan is also the lead author of Roche’s GenAI Safety Assurance Playbook, created to guide the secure design and deployment of AI solutions at scale. Drawing on that work, the session will explore: - How a global healthcare leader implements AI in practice - What responsible adoption means within a regulated organisation - How technology strategy and enterprise architecture support business priorities - The practical relationship between innovation, governance, safety and trust - Lessons that marketers and technologists can apply in regulated and non-regulated industries Who should attend? This event is particularly relevant to marketers, technologists, founders, digital transformation professionals and technology leaders seeking a grounded view of enterprise AI. Rather than requiring specialist healthcare knowledge, the discussion is designed to offer useful takeaways across industries, especially for people responsible for introducing AI while managing organisational risk and governance. The evening takes the form of an expert conversation, with plenty of time for audience questions and informal discussion over drinks. It is also an opportunity to meet members of The MarTech Collective, a Bangkok-based community of more than 700 marketers, technologists and founders from over 25 countries.… Register for this event

⌖ Bangkok · Event Space at Royal Oak (4th floor)

Hosted by Only Devs Bangkok

Explore durable software architecture and fast incremental queries with Rust at Only Devs Bangkok on 17 September 2026, with talks, lightning sessions and networking. This free developer meetup brings two practical technical topics to the Event Space at Royal Oak in Bangkok: how to make high-impact software design decisions that stand the test of time, and how Differential Dataflow can keep application state current as new events arrive. Formerly known as ThaiPy, Only Devs Bangkok now covers a broader mix of modern programming languages, libraries and techniques, including AI and LLM development. Two focused technical talks Architecting Software That Lasts, Oleksandr Polieno (IGLU) Drawing on experience spanning database optimisation and web applications, Oleksandr will examine the software decisions that are expensive to reverse. The session will explore how much planning to do upfront, where engineering effort matters most, how to choose an architecture, and how the same strategic discipline applies when building with LLMs. Incremental Computations with Differential Dataflow, Cesar Augusto Cesar Augusto of nosotro.app will share an approach developed in response to the challenge of keeping application state updated while new events flood in. Attendees will be introduced to Differential Dataflow, a data-parallel programming framework for Rust designed to process large data volumes efficiently and respond quickly to arbitrary changes in input collections. Schedule and format - 18:30: Arrive, mingle and meet fellow developers - 19:00: Two short talks, each lasting approximately 20–30 minutes - 20:00: Community lightning talks, capped at five minutes each - 20:30 onwards: Optional networking and socialising The event takes place on the fourth floor of the Royal Oak on Sukhumvit 33/1, near BTS Phrom Phong.

⌖ Bangkok · Starbucks near Queen Sirikit National Convention Center

Hosted by John S.

Explore the risks, control problems and possible futures of AI superintelligence at this focused book-club discussion in Bangkok. On Monday 21 September 2026, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm ICT, the Technology and Society Reading/Discussion – Bangkok group will examine Nick Bostrom’s influential book, Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies. Hosted by John S., the meeting takes place at the Starbucks near Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, 60 Ratchadaphisek Road, Khlong Toei. What the discussion will explore Bostrom’s Superintelligence asks what could happen if machines surpass humans in general intelligence,and whether artificial agents might ultimately protect humanity or place it at existential risk. The group will discuss the book’s philosophical framework for understanding how superintelligence could emerge, how it might reshape the world and whether people could retain meaningful control over systems far more capable than themselves. Likely areas for conversation arising directly from the book include: - Possible paths towards machine superintelligence - The consequences of an intelligence explosion - Whether a powerful artificial intelligence could move beyond human control - How initial conditions might be designed to make advanced AI safer - The future of humanity and intelligent life if machine intelligence exceeds our own - Strategies for making the development of superintelligence survivable Published more than a decade ago and written before modern large language models became prominent, the book remains regularly cited in popular and academic writing about AI. Rather than concentrating on practical AI development, it tackles the deeper philosophy of superintelligence, existential risk and humanity’s responsibility to make the “first move” wisely.
