The challenge
Business networking in Kuala Lumpur tends to follow one script: name tags, a short pitch, a stack of cards. Plenty of people leave without one real conversation.
Our response
A themed night that lowers the barrier. Guests arrive in costume, so the first conversation is easy and the second one is real. The 2026 edition added interactive networking games, live stage performances, entertainment segments and lucky draws.
What happened
After a first edition in 2025, the event returned on 8 August 2026 at the Andaman Grand Ballroom and brought together more than 300 delegates from start-ups, corporations, technology, media, healthcare, retail and the creative industries. JCI Kuala Lumpur organised it with fellow JCI local organisations and support from KL Wellness City.
