“we gonna yolo our way into running the biggest conf in town.” and somehow… we actually did it with @aiDotEngineer singapore
a year ago, @agrimsingh @unprofeshme and i joked about the idea of running our own conference (after finishing an escape room).
the idea started from frustration -
that there wasn't a quality conference built for builders, by builders in asia.
that there's so much untapped talent here yet ppl think the "scene is dead."
it’s not dead. there’s an absurd amount of untapped talent here. the right people just weren’t in the same room.
and instead of waiting around for someone else to step in, we decided to do it ourselves.
5 ppl, all part-time, running on agents and fumes.
and this week, somehow, that turned into minister vivian balakrishnan keynoting alongside many of the best ai companies and builders in the world.
thank you @swyx for trusting us to bring @aiDotEngineer to asia.
and thank you to our team, volunteers, speakers, sponsors, and everyone who believed in this before it was obvious.
let’s make a little history this week.
