SpeakIn’s Asia Dialogues launches in Singapore; to enable discussion and thought leadership on diversity, ESG and more

SINGAPORE – Media
OutReach – 7 January 2022 – For centuries dialogue has been known
to create positive transformation in businesses, cultures and communities, shaping our global, regional and
industry agendas.

SpeakIn is launching Asia Dialogues in an effort to build conversations on topics of
immediate focus to the Asian region. The forum being launched in Singapore will
enable progressive discussions that will not only bring us closer to one
another but will also recognise eminent thought leaders in the region.

From ESG to Diversity and Inclusion; from Sustainable
Finance to Digital Transformation and Climate Change, SpeakIn’s Asia Dialogues
will build a unique ecosystem of discussion and discovery. It will be shaped in
the form of events, white papers and vlogs, which will guide and be a
reflection of the efforts of regional and global corporate houses, apart from
the government and the academia.

“As Asia‘s first and largest consortium of
thought leaders, industry influencers and subject matter experts, SpeakIn has
always been at the forefront of discussions on topics which are shaping our
business and policy ecosystem.” said Deepshikha Kumar, Founder and CEO of
SpeakIn.

“Singapore,” she said, “will be the home for Asia
Dialogues as the region in Asia that is an ultimate innovator, as Asia Dialogues aims to become the benchmark
for Asian thought leadership. The concept will bring periodic and sustained
discussions on a wide array of themes that impact the world‘s largest continent. With SpeakIn‘s
global expert network, Asia Dialogues will become the best platform to rekindle
discussions of relevance to Asian businesses, governments, media and academia.”

Asia Dialogues gets underway next month with a ‘Diversity and
Inclusion’ dialogue to celebrate the full spectrum of human differences and
create a culture of belonging which makes an organisation and an economy
complete and successful. The Virtual-Hybrid event, to be held in Singapore on
February 9, 2022, will feature influential voices from across the globe. Ten
D&I experts will be recognised for excellence in thought leadership in
diversity and inclusivity. The individuals being commended have been beacons,
working towards embedding the overarching principle of unity in diversity and
illuminating the D&I movement.

The recognition apart, the D&I event will feature a
keynote address and a panel discussion, which will include Anthea Colliers, the
APAC managing director of Randstad;
Michael Brown, the British author and evangelist; Renee Tan, the Singapore-based business transformation
leader; and Arvinder Gujral, the
former South-East Asia head of Twitter. The panel discussion will be moderated
by Ms. Kumar.

Continuing the dialogue on topics of impact, Asia Dialogues
will next address ‘ESG
and Sustainability’—how the region‘s companies must weave
environmental, social and governance criteria into their processes for better
value creation and for the overall good of planet earth. Through 2022 other
topics which will be addressed at Asia Dialogues include Leadership Agility and
Business Continuity, Digital Transformation in a post-Covid World, Asia‘s Role in Climate Change, and more.
