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.

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)*
Emergence
The complexity of existence that bloomed from the beauty of a singular simplicity.
In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague’s Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. He pondered why all snowflakes are six-sided; “I do not believe,” he wrote, “that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random.” Over 400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity?
From the vast rivers of galaxies that make up the cosmic web, to the ecosystems of Earth and the structure of the human brain - from black holes to snowflakes - we see a Universe of dazzling complexity built on profoundly simple principles. How did this happen over 13.8 billion years of cosmic evolution?
https://www.sistic.com.sg/events/brian0626
Emergence is also a scientific history of this astonishing 400 years. How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes living on one small planet orbiting an average star come to understand so much about the cosmos? Guided by mathematics, curiosity, and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty, our species has begun to read the story of the Universe and started to carry our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars.
Brian Cox says - “I’ve loved creating Emergence - it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, film makers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.”

Prostate Cancer Health Talk with Dr. Peter Lim | Free Event for Men 40+

**What you'll learn:**

Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller**
**This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.**
Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.
Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
Westerville Queer Coffee Meetup

Columbus Book Club: The Secret History
**📔 Books and Banter: The Secret History by Donna Tartt • All Readers Welcome**
Come and join us to open up a conversation about this month's pick, The Secret History by Donna Tartt with people who just enjoy a good back-and-forth, and no two nights ever play out the same.
Reading ahead is great but not required, and bring whatever section you're itching to discuss, and bring your scribbled notes — because what you clocked is exactly what someone else sailed past.
Everything's fair game for debate — with the discussion built entirely from what people bring, and the energy tends to build as the evening goes on.
Every night is a fine first night — and the group is an easy one to slot into, all you need is yourself and an opinion, and the night usually ends with people wanting to keep going.
---
**What the session looks like:**
- Arrive, grab a seat, and say hi if you're new — no icebreakers, just talk
- Talk opens on a first question and flows on from there, no set agenda
- Near the end there's a chance to pitch the next read
**What helps:**
- Your copy of the book, paper or screen
- Bookmarks or sticky notes on your favourite bits
- Curiosity and patience for other readings
- Something warm to drink if the mood takes you
⭐ *"Honestly the best hour of my month — the takes were nothing like mine, and that was the whole point"* – regular
💡 **Before you come:** mark the passage you reckon the table will pounce on, since a single flagged scene beats a vague impression, and the group makes it easy from that first line on.
---
🗯️ Come for the book, stay for the discussion — join us and bring your read and the discussion takes it from there. The talk starts when you arrive. 🗯️
