SpeakIn set to launch ‘Asia Dialogues’ to converse on Asia-centric issues of immediate focus

SpeakIn, an Asian consortium of thought leaders, is set to launch ‘Asia Dialogues’. The forum intends to build conversations on topics of urgent and immediate focus for the Asian region by bringing people together to enable progressive discussions.

Asia Dialogues will explore and converse on topics like environmental, social and governance (esg), diversity and inclusion, sustainable finance, digital transformation and climate change, among others. SpeakIn’s Asia Dialogues will build a unique ecosystem of discussion and discovery. It will be shaped in the form of events, white papers, and vlogs. The conversations will guide and be a reflection of the efforts of regional and global corporate houses, apart from the government and the academia.

The first edition of Asia Dialogues, scheduled for next month, will focus on ‘Diversity and Inclusion’.

Commenting on the launch of Asia Dialogues, Deepshikha Kumar, Founder and CEO of SpeakIn said, “As Asia’s first and largest consortium of thought leaders, industry influencers and subject matter experts, SpeakIn has always been at the forefront of discussions on topics which are shaping our business and policy ecosystem.”

She further added, “The concept of Asia Dialogues is to bring periodic and sustained discussions on a wide array of themes that impact the world’s largest continent. With SpeakIn’s global expert network, Asia Dialogues will become the best and most meaningful platform to rekindle discussions of relevance to Asian businesses, governments, media and academia.”

With its theme of ‘Diversity and Inclusion’, Asia Dialogues will celebrate the full spectrum of human differences and create a culture of belonging across Asia. The Virtual-Hybrid event, which will feature influential voices from across the globe, will be held in Singapore on February 9, 2022. It will also recognise 10 well-known individuals for their outstanding contribution in the D&I space. The event will feature a discussion with eminent panelists including Anthea Colliers, Managing Director (APAC), Randstad; Michael Brown, the British award-winning author, entrepreneur and evangelist; Renee Tan, Singapore-based business transformation leader; and ArvinderGujral, former Managing Director, South-East Asia, Twitter.
