Side events

A thousand of them, and no single list

The organisers count more than a thousand side events across the week. There is no official directory that covers them all, which is exactly why everyone spends the fortnight before scrolling X for invite links.

01

Where they get posted

Announcements land on X first, usually from the host protocol's own account, then on Luma. Follow the funds you want in the room rather than the venues.

02

When they get posted

The good ones open two to three weeks out and fill in a day. The ones still open the week of are usually the ones with a sponsor to please.

03

What you actually need

A phone with data, because approval emails and QR codes arrive while you are already in a taxi. This is the single most common way people miss a door.

We keep a running list and mail it when it is worth having. It is free and it is not a newsletter.

Free, one email at a time

The side-event list, when it is worth sending

We watch the announcements so you do not have to scroll for them. One email with the list and the deadlines that matter.

No forwarding, no selling the list. Unsubscribe in one click.
Before you fly

Get the phone sorted while you are still at home

An ESIM has to be installed over an internet connection. The one moment you will not have one is standing at Changi arrivals wanting a Grab.
