The Challenge

A first impression that had to land.

As Singapore’s inaugural AWS Startup Day, success was critical, and the venue would make or break it. A full day uniting business and technical stakeholders to share achievements, learn best practices and explore new technology needed a space that drew the right crowd, not a traditional ballroom.

The Solution

Build Amazing Startups Here.

The team sought a relaxed but functional space for 300+ attendees , able to run dual-track programming across Technical and Business breakout sessions. The choice was BASH at JTC LaunchPad, a startup-community space whose name literally means “Build Amazing Startups Here”, its industrial aesthetic and open floor matching the audience and the learning-focused atmosphere.

The Impact

Beyond expectations.

Attendance surpassed AWS’s expectations, with brands like Honestbee, Zalora and Facebook taking part, and 71% of feedback saying they would join future AWS Startup Days.

A first Startup Day that founders said they would come back to, 71% of them.
