Looking for genuine business networking in Singapore without the hard sell or the tech-startup echo chamber? You've found it. The Singapore Entrepreneurs Network (SEN) has been running free, no-frills entrepreneur networking sessions since 2005 with roots going back to 2002. This is one of our regular monthly sessions. Drop in, buy a drink, and start a conversation. With over 20,000 members and 633 events hosted across two decades, SEN is one of Singapore's longest-running and most active entrepreneur communities. **Who shows up** SEN attracts a genuinely mixed crowd, and that's the point. On any given Thursday you'll meet: * Students and aspiring founders with their first business idea * Fresh startups and early-stage founders * Established entrepreneurs and SME owners * Corporate professionals seriously considering the leap * Freelancers and independents building their own path * Investors and advisors * Foreign entrepreneurs and expats building in Singapore Every industry. Every stage. All equally welcome. **What to expect** No agenda, no formal programme, no keynote speeches, no hard pitching. Just a room full of people who are building something or thinking seriously about it, talking openly with others who get it. SEN is known for being genuinely diverse, refreshingly direct, and free of the "tech founders only" attitude that dominates most Singapore networking events. People disagree here. People speak freely. That's what makes it worth showing up. **Our community standard** This community runs on one principle: honest conversation between real people doing real work. Claims are welcome. Fabrications are not. If you state credentials, be prepared to substantiate them. **Practical details** * Venue: Rocky Master, 18 Tai Seng St, #01-28, Singapore 539775 * Date: First Thursday of the month * Time: 7:00 PM onwards * Free entry **Ground rules** * Buy something at the venue. There is no entrance fee, but we are guests of Rocky Master. It is compulsory to purchase a drink or meal. If you are not hungry or thirsty, buy something and gift it to someone else; you will get thirsty after an hour of conversation. * No hard selling. Network freely, but do not force other attendees to sit through your pitch. * Basic decency. SEN welcomes people with differing views and backgrounds. Disagree openly but respectfully. **About SEN** In 2002, Nicholas Chan was one of eight co-founders of Project:Senso, a pioneer entrepreneur gathering in Singapore. Nicholas subsequently spun off the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network in 2005; the networking events were working, people kept coming back, and he decided they deserved a permanent home and a life of their own. Two decades on, SEN counts over 20,000 members and runs affiliated chapters in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Taiwan.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
