Networking in Singapore CBD — SEN Second Wednesdays at Duxton (Free Entry)
Wrapping up the work day in the CBD? Come unwind and meet interesting people over drinks at Goodbye Alibi, right in the heart of Duxton.
Every alternate month, the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network (SEN) brings its Second Wednesdays session to Duxton Road — one of Singapore's most vibrant dining and nightlife strips. It's an evening of easy conversation, no agenda, and no hard selling.
With over 20,000 members and 633 events hosted since 2005, SEN is one of Singapore's longest-running entrepreneur and business networking communities.
**Who shows up**
The Duxton crowd is one of SEN's most eclectic. You'll find:
* Professionals and executives from the CBD unwinding after work
* Entrepreneurs and business owners based in or passing through the city
* Expats and foreign professionals building their Singapore network
* Aspiring founders scoping out the business landscape
* Investors and advisors
Whether you're deep into entrepreneurship or simply ambitious and curious, you'll find the conversation worthwhile.
**What to expect**
No speeches, no pitches, no formal programme. Just good company in a relaxed pub setting. Goodbye Alibi is a cocktail bar, come ready to drink, talk, and meet people you wouldn't normally run into.
SEN events are known for being genuinely diverse and free of the polished, curated "tech founders only" atmosphere that defines most Singapore networking events. Real talk, differing opinions, and a refreshingly mixed room.
**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: Goodbye Alibi\, 53A Duxton Road\, Singapore 089517
\- Nearest parking: Pinnacle@Duxton \(short walk\)
\- Date: Second Wednesday of the month \(alternate months — check listing\)
\- Time: 7:00 PM onwards
\- Free entry
**Ground rules**
* Buy something at the venue. There is no entrance fee, but we are guests of Goodbye Alibi. Purchase a drink, this is a cocktail bar and that is the expectation.
* 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.
Beach Tennis in Singapore? Try it for yourself
Most people in Singapore haven’t tried beach tennis yet — and honestly, that’s part of the appeal.
It’s fast-paced like tennis, social like volleyball, and played barefoot on sand. You don’t need prior experience, and the learning curve is surprisingly quick.
Beach tennis is big in Brazil, and it’s now starting to pick up in Singapore. Sessions are run by Pacific Beach Tennis Academy, which is Singapore's first dedicated beach tennis academy.
If you’re looking to:
– try a new sport without pressure
– meet people in a more relaxed setting
– or just switch things up from your usual workouts
this might be worth checking out.
Sessions are beginner-friendly, and all equipment is provided.
If you’re keen or have any questions, feel free to message Luke at 8950 0295.
You can learn more about Pacific Beach Tennis Academy here as well:

THE HUNT | EVERY WEDNESDAY | GAMIFIED NETWORKING
**Bored of the same old awkward networking events? Swap the resume swapping for a heart-racing mid-week adrenaline boost.**
Welcome to **The Hunt**, a weekly interactive gaming and trading experience hosted by the **Out of Office Hour Club (OOOH Club)**. Will drop you the location after you have RSVP-ed!
Whether you’re an expat looking for your crew, a digital nomad passing through Singapore, or a local professional wanting to shake up your Wednesday night, this is your after-hours community.
### 🎮 How "The Black Market Hunt" Works:
1. **The Secret Role:** At the door, you are handed a drink, a snack, and a secret envelope containing your hidden identity. Your scoring system depends entirely on your role.
2. **The Scavenge:** We unleash the crowd into two adjacent rooms. You have 20 minutes to find hidden physical "contraband".
3. **Market Opens:** Lies, Trades, Deals, Negotiation happens
It’s chaotic, collaborative, and mathematically forces you to interact with everyone in the room. No awkward introductions required, the game does 100% of the icebreaking for you.
### ⚠️ Strict Attendance Policy:
Because this game relies heavily on balanced team numbers and role distribution, slots are strictly limited to **20 pax per night**. Your trading partners are depending on you!
1. **Punctuality is key:** Please do not arrive late, or you will miss the role distribution and be locked out of the scavenge phase.
2. **6-Hour Notice:** If your plans change, you must update your RSVP **at least 6 hours before** the event. No-shows without prior notice will be placed on low priority for all future exclusive OOOH Club events.
**Ready to beat the mid-week slump?**
**🎟️ HOW TO SECURE YOUR SPOT (IMPORTANT)** *Please RSVP here and drop Chloe (+65 8813 2083) your Name, Age and Gender. Wait for the confirmation message (if slots are still available)*

Prostate Cancer Health Talk with Dr. Peter Lim | Free Event for Men 40+
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Singapore. Most men have no symptoms in the early stages — and by the time they do, it may already be advanced. **Early detection saves lives. And it starts with knowing your risk.**
This May, take the most important step for your health and join us for a free, expert-led talk by **Dr. Lim Huat Chye Peter** — one of Singapore's most respected urologists and founder of the Society for Men's Health (Singapore).
**📅 Date:** Saturday, 13 June 2026
**🕑 Time:** 1:30 PM – 4:00 PM
**📍 Venue:** Farrer Park Hospital, Connexion, #16-06 (Viv Hall)
**💰 Admission:** FREE
**If you're a man over 40, this talk is for you.**
Most men avoid talking about their health — until it's too late. Don't wait for symptoms. Prostate cancer is highly treatable when caught early, but the window matters. This is your chance to get straight-talking, expert guidance in a relaxed, open setting where all questions are welcome.
**What you'll learn:**
* What prostate cancer is and how it develops silently
* Who is at risk — and why men over 40 need to act now
* When and how to get screened, and what tests to expect
* Treatment options and the latest advances in urological care
* How to have the conversation with your doctor — and what questions to ask
Come alone, or bring a father, brother, husband, or friend. The men in your life need to hear this.
**Seats are limited. This event is free — but your health is priceless. Register now before it's too late.**

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

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!
