Echelon Asia Summit<\/a> took place on 15th<\/sup> and 16 June 2016 at the Singapore Expo, I was invited by my friends from the public relations agency, SPRG, to attend the two days summit and I was glad that I attended this event. This post comes a bit late and I apologise for the delay in sharing my thoughts and feelings from attending Echelon Asia Summit 2016.<\/p>\n Echelon Asia Summit 2016 is a two-day summit that brings over 5,000 top-tier digital professionals and entrepreneurs, to create and expand their opportunities in the various fields such as technology, business and investments across Asia.<\/p>\n It was an eye-opener for me to know more about start ups from various industries and not just technology start ups. Although I am a photographer, I am also interested in financial industry, technology, small medium enterprise (SME), fin-tech, just to name a few of them. Having attended Canon EXPO 2016 Shanghai, learning and understanding how a world famous brand brings their products and services across the world, I am able to learn and understand from the other end of the spectrum, the start ups and SME on how they plan to grow their business and growth. I visited Echelon Asia Summit 2016 as an attendee, my first time visiting an event of this nature.<\/p>\n The list of exhibitors present at Echelon Asia Summit 2016 were interesting and diverse, it\u2019s not just technology start ups. There were a number of key speeches and sharing on the Future Stage, Build\/Reach Stage, Create Stage and Community Lounge. The topics and agenda that I want to listen and relate a lot to were at the Future Stage. Over the two days, I had learned some great insights and knowledge from the sharing by the panel of speakers in their respective industry. Although I wasn\u2019t able to visit all the exhibitors present there, I saw a few exhibitors that caught my attention \u2013<\/p>\n FOMO Photo Booth by FOMO Digital Pte Ltd<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Being a photographer myself, I can\u2019t do and cover everything at major events if they are big scale and the requirements include photo booth. FOMO Photo Booth caught my attention and if the opportunity to collaborate together arises, I would have a chat with them!<\/p>\n Cafebond<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n A coffee lover myself, I saw their booth and went up to know more about their coffee business. They are bringing in Melbourne\u2019s best coffee to Singapore and you can order coffee online and ship it over to your place. This is something that I would check out one day!<\/p>\n TripInsiders<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n This is something that suits me perfectly what I love to do, travel and photography. You can become an Insider to bring travelers from all around the world in your city and you can get paid too for your time! Becoming an Insider might just be the job that slots in between my photography assignments and marketing work for Wills & Wills.<\/p>\n Grab<\/a> showcasing Grab For Work<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Grab has a pretty big booth at Echelon Asia Summit 2016, you will see definitely see them when you are inside the Singapore Expo Hall. I read about their story and origins before on how they were founded, grown and transformed over time. I had a good chat with one of their guys there during Echelon Asia Summit 2016, Grab For Work is a great initiative for companies that have staff that are on the move and have to claim transport allowances. If I am currently working in a job that needs to do transport claims, I would use Grab For Work.<\/p>\n During the two days of Echelon Asia Summit 2016, the start ups are not just confined to technology industry, they have expanded into other industries such as F&B, travel, photography and financial. It was a great pleasure, a wonderful learning experience for me to attend Echelon Asia Summit 2016, there is always something new to learn from people from all walks of life and industries.<\/p>\n Thank you e27<\/a> and SPRG<\/a> for the invitation to Echelon Asia Summit 2016!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Echelon Asia Summit took place on 15th and 16 June 2016 at the Singapore Expo, I was invited by my friends from the public relations agency, SPRG, to attend the two days summit and I was glad that I attended this event.
