I didn't manage to give my geek nomad session. As well as general discussion, it suggested a particular month for people to aim at if they wanted to dip their toes in the water and hang out in Singapore for a few days or weeks.

It was open for already 5 years, but everything still look very shiny new. The collections are also large, particularly the southeast asia collection. Down the road not so far away, you will find SMU. Its underground concourse is very clever. This creates a continuing space across the campus, des... [read more]
#nsc1 #neotenysg1 suggestion?
Guys, we'll be providing catered lunch on both days, and also drinks. How nice the drinks and food will be will depend on our sponsors, so do join me in praying for their good health till the event ;-). I'll also make sure we get enough veggies so the vegans amongst us will get fed. Last point, all the food we cater will be halal too.

Right before NSC1, on Dec 9 and 10, iMatch International will happen. http://www.idm.sg/imatch/?page_id=4 A bunch of bigwigs will be flown in (Benchmark, Google acquisitions, DFJ India). And a bunch of local startups will be paraded in front of them. Each will take a turn at shaking the money tree. NSC1 folks who are active in the investment/startup scene may wish to fly in a few days earlier for a front-row seat.
