So AI is adopted, are we doing better?

Join us for a coffee morning with Josh Skorupa from GovTech, who will lead an open discussion on what happens after AI is adopted. Most organisations can show that AI is being used. Far fewer can show that it is making them better. Together, we will explore what “better” means in practice, where the costs and gains sit, and how organisations can tell whether AI is creating value or simply creating more activity.


About our speaker:

Josh Skorupa is Head of Digital Transformation & Capability at GovTech, where he works on helping people and organisations build the capability to make the most of AI.

SwedCham's Women4Women Forum is delighted to invite you to a Cross-Chamber Pool Party After Work on Thursday 8 October - an evening of networking, relaxation and tropical summer at the beautiful Le Jardin​, located within Raffles Sentosa Singapore​.

At last year's Cross-Chamber AW at Raffles Sentosa, many of us looked longingly at the pool and said: Next time, we should use it. This year, we are. Set against a lush tropical backdrop, Le Jardin offers a rare setting for an after-work gathering: Elegant, green, relaxed and just far enough from the city to feel like a proper escape. It is the perfect place to bring together members from across several chambers for an evening of connection, conversation and a different kind of networking experience.

The ticket price of $75 includes one drink (house wine, classic cocktail or non-alcoholic refreshment) as well as a curated selection of light bites, including canapés, freshly made pizza, an ice cream cart and a popcorn station.

Guests are also welcome to enjoy the venue's pool facilities, with towels provided for convenience, making this much more than a standard networking evening.

Additional gourmet options, including chef-selected pasta dishes, will be available for purchase. A full bar will also be open throughout the evening, with beverages charged based on consumption. To further enhance the experience, optional wellness add-ons, including a foot massage station, will be available on-site at an additional cost, alongside exclusive spa offers.

And yes, this remains a women-only event - designed to create the right space for connection, conversation and community across chambers.

Come for the conversations, stay for the setting - and take the opportunity to discover more of Raffles Sentosa's beautiful premises.

Warm regards, and don't forget to bring your swim suit!

Synopsis

The Batam Special Economic Zone and wider Batam industrial ecosystem are increasingly positioned as a strategic platform for companies looking to expand manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain operations in Southeast Asia.

The day will include a panel discussion which will set the stage for the afternoon site visits to leading facilities in Batam, offering participants a firsthand look at how global companies are leveraging the Singapore–Batam corridor to strengthen their manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain capabilities across the region.

What attendees can expect:

• A panel discussion with key stakeholders across the Singapore–Batam ecosystem

• Afternoon site visits to leading manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain facilities in Batam

• Practical insights on structuring cross-border operations and navigating regulatory, talent, and infrastructure considerations on the ground

“What Would You Actually Do?”

A breakfast conversation on crisis leadership (from brand manager to CEO) in the age of AI-driven risk.

Cyber incidents are no longer a question of if; they’re a question of when, how bad, and who’s in the room when it happens.

And that room? It’s not just the CEO and the lawyers. It’s you. The moment a breach hits, it becomes a legal problem, a brand problem, a people problem, a regulator problem, simultaneously and at speed. Marketing is scrambling for messaging. Brand is watching years of equity evaporate in hours. Finance is fielding calls they weren’t trained for. Every department is implicated, every stakeholder has an opinion, and the chaos compounds faster than any single team can contain.
That exponential, cross-functional pressure is exactly where leaders at every level are separated from losers.

Join William Gaultier, founder of Equanimity Group, for a breakfast session that will permanently change how you think about your role when a crisis hits  whether you’re running the room or sitting in it.
No slides. No jargon. Just sharp people and some very inconvenient questions.

Come hungry. Leave thinking differently.

About William Gaultier
William and his 50 senior partners have personally navigated over 200 crises for companies ranging from $100 million to $100 billion in value -cyber breaches, social engineering attacks, bomb threats, government raids, and everything in between. He founded Equanimity Group to bring that experience directly to leadership teams across Asia before the crisis finds them.

The AI Adoption Paradox

Why are organizations investing billions in AI yet still struggling to create real value? Join Asger Daugbjerg, DABS member and Doctor of Business Administration candidate in Emerging Technologies and Generative AI, for a 60-minute discussion on “The AI Adoption Paradox” - why AI initiatives stall, pilots never scale, and excitement often fades into operational confusion.

This isn’t a “how-to” seminar and there are no silver bullets. Instead, we’ll explore key questions like:

• Why AI initiatives often resemble the dot-com era

• Lessons from history about technological hype and euphoria

• Why organizations treat AI like an IT project - even when it isn’t

• The hidden tensions between innovation, control, risk, and responsibility

ABOUT THIS EVENT

What if the biggest risks to markets and geopolitics in 2026 are the ones we’re currently laughing off?
 
Each year, Saxo’s Outrageous Predictions explore low-probability, high-impact scenarios designed to challenge consensus thinking—from AI running a Fortune 500 company and quantum computing breaking digital security, to a gold-linked yuan reshaping global money and drone taxis turning Singapore’s skies into the new causeways.
 
At this event, Charu Chanana, Chief Investment Strategist at Saxo, will take you behind the thinking that shapes these predictions. She will unpack how they are built from real trends in technology, geopolitics and markets—and why they are less about being “right” and more about stress-testing our assumptions in a world that rarely moves in straight lines.
 
Expect a fast-paced, thought-provoking session that blends macro insights with practical lessons on risk, resilience and preparedness in an increasingly unpredictable global landscape.
 
What you’ll take away:

• How Outrageous Predictions are constructed—and why they matter

• What these scenarios reveal about trust, technology and global power shifts

• Why “boring stability” may now be the most underpriced geopolitical outcome

• How investors and decision-makers can think more clearly about tail risks

DABS coffee mornings are designed to help you establish new connections.

ABOUT THIS EVENT
You won’t believe what you can learn about business in an escape room

After spending 20 years in senior corporate roles across Asia Pacific, Brian Slattery set out to explore teamwork in a very different way—by creating purpose-built escape rooms designed for team development.

At this event, Brian will share the origin story behind Teamwork Unlocked, including the very first room designed for Google Singapore. Along the way, you’ll hear insightful and humorous real-life stories about what teams have discovered about themselves over the past year, under pressure, against the clock, and working together to escape.


What you’ll take away:

• The essential roles every high-performing team needs

• What really happens when one (or more) of those roles is missing

• Why an escape room might be the most effective - and unexpected - setting for your next team offsite

DABS coffee mornings are designed to help you establish new connections.
