SFF x SWITCH 2020 to adapt hybrid online-offline platform

The event, running from December 7-11, will be hosted across cities globally.

This year’s Singapore Fintech Festival x Singapore Week of Innovation & Technology (SFF x SWITCH) will make use of a combined online-offline platform world to become the world’s first week-long round-the-clock, hybrid digital and physical experience, announced the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Running from 7 to 11 December, the event will be hosted across various physical locations around the globe simultaneously, with participants being connected in “an online city” experience.

“The event will feature a hybrid experience knitting together an online city with various physical locations around the world, centred on businesses activities to boost sales cycles, discover partnerships and generate investments,” MAS added in a press release.

The online city will provide each participating organisation with a digital location where they can share and engage with participants as well as schedule 1-1 meetings.

Participants can access physical events hosted in their cities to network with local government and industry leaders, learn more about a country’s key initiatives related to fintech, find out about local early-state startups, or access closed-door roundtables.

They will also get round-the-clock live streams of sessions featuring leading speakers from around the world and also view sessions taking place in the physical cities. For example, during Golden Hours across time zones, participants worldwide will see keynote speakers from different regions coming together to share their perspectives on topics such as financial inclusion, green technologies and sustainability, according to MAS.

This year’s event carries the theme “People and Talent”, with the aim to shine a spotlight on pioneers and rising stars in transforming global industries.

Exhibitors can showcase technologies in key innovation domains such as fintech; Smart Cities and Urban Solutions; Healthcare and Biomedical Sciences; Trade and Connectivity; as well as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and 5G.

This year will also see SFF x SWITCH engage the African fintech community.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
