After Dark @ Asia Insight Circle
Hong Kong’s sharpest evening is back — an intelligent, unscripted look at the forces shaping 2026. No slides. No corporate theatre. Just real insight, real conversation, and a setting that feels nothing like another hotel ballroom.
"The Year Ahead, Unscripted" is brought to you by Asia Insight Circle.
We open 2026 with a sharper identity and new format C‑Suite networking and thought leadership events. Since 2013, Asia Insight Circle has brought together Hong Kong’s most curious and connected leaders.

To open the year we’re taking it to the Ethiad VIP Tent at AIA Carnival, thanks to our sponsor Great Entertainment Group.
Expect fast, fresh perspectives on markets, AI, and the future of money from three of Hong Kong’s most compelling voices:
- Benjamin Quinlan — CEO & Founder, Quinlan & Associates
- Jeanne Lim, Ph.D. — CEO, BeingAI
- Jame DiBiasio — Managing Partner, JDB Advisors
Three viewpoints. Zero scripts. One sharp conversation.
Come for the Insights, Stay for the Networking
After the programme, the night opens up with food, open bar, rides and games, and the unmistakable buzz of the harbourfront. It’s the rare event that’s both smart and fun — exactly the mix Hong Kong has been missing.
Guests have access to AIA Carnival and the Ethiad VIP Lounge all evening, until 11:00 pm closing - there are limited "plus one" and token passes available.
Capacity is intentionally limited.
If you want a night that’s premium, lively, and a little irreverent, this is the one.
