Business Networking Singapore — SEN Third Thursdays (Free Entry)
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: Third 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.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
