10:00 - 10:30 am
Reimagining How We Work: Collaboration, Innovation, Growth, and Culture in 2026
The fundamentals of work are being rewritten. How teams collaborate, how companies innovate, how organizations grow, how culture gets built: none of it looks like it did three years ago, and the pace isn't slowing. Expect a clear-eyed look at what's actually changing, which old assumptions no longer hold, which new capabilities separate winners from everyone else, and what it takes to build organizations designed for continuous reinvention.
Speakers
Mark Dembitz
General Manager APAC, Lark
10:30 - 10:50 am
Building Systems That Adapt as You Scale
Every growing organization builds systems to run work. The question is whether those systems help teams move faster or slow them down. Kay and Sean explores how teams use Lark Base to design flexible, adaptable ways of working, with AI supporting execution where it matters. A mix of product perspective and real customer examples showing how teams move beyond rigid tools to build systems that evolve with the business.
10:50 - 11:20 am
East Meets West: Navigating the 2026 Landscape
2026 won't be predictable, and the forces shaping it look different depending on where you sit. A fireside chat bringing together macro perspectives from both sides of the Pacific. The conversation explores the economic and geopolitical realities defining business decisions right now: trade dynamics, regulatory divergence, market volatility, and regional tensions. Where do Eastern and Western views align? Where do they clash? And what does it mean for how you navigate the year ahead?

How APAC's Top Brands Operate in Hypergrowth
Whether you're doubling down in your home market or expanding across borders, aggressive growth breaks things. Your processes, your systems, your org structure. Everything that worked at 10 stores stops working at 100. Leaders from top retail and F&B brands share their hypergrowth playbooks: what infrastructure decisions bought them runway to scale, how they maintained operational control while moving fast, where to standardize and where to stay flexible, and the mistakes that cost them momentum.

Staying Disruptive: Building Teams and Culture That Don't Slow Down
Companies disrupt their markets to win them. The harder question is whether they can keep that edge as they grow. This session brings together leaders who've maintained disruptive momentum through scale. Expect conversations about when to make bold bets, how to structure teams that move fast without creating chaos, and building foundations that let you pivot without starting over. Insights from leaders whose companies stayed aggressive when growth could have made them cautious.

From organizational structure to technology foundations, they're built for multi-market intensity from day one. Leaders share what makes their operational model distinct: how they've structured for speed and volume simultaneously, the technology stack enabling coordination across markets, where their playbook diverges from traditional expansion thinking, and what others can learn from their approach.

Moving Beyond AI Experiments: Building an AI-First Organization
Many organizations have experimented with AI. Far fewer have successfully embedded it into how work actually gets done. Early AI adopters share what it really takes to move beyond pilots and proofs-of-concept and turn AI into a core operating capability. Drawing from firsthand experience, the discussion explores how leaders rethink processes, decision-making, and culture to make AI stick at scale.

Modernizing Without Breaking: The Transformation Journey
Many organizations face a choice: modernize legacy systems or accept growing operational constraints. This session brings together leaders who've successfully transformed their operations while running full-speed businesses. Learn how they built the business case that secured buy-in, the strategies that minimized disruption, where to upgrade versus overhaul, and how to measure success beyond cost savings. Real stories about what worked, what failed, and the calls they'd make differently.
