Event Details

Feast on canapes and cocktails as we get behind the scenes with The Economist editorial team in South-East Asia. We will be discussing parliamentary and political developments in Malaysia and Thailand, food security in Asia and the challenges imposed by the Russia-Ukraine war on the green transition.


Sit back and relax while we explore the insider's guide to their assignments, figure out which parts of their reports didn't make the page and tap into their thinking on the latest developments in the region. We'll also be introducing our new network director, Sumana Rajarethnam.

Please note that this event is limited to senior-level executives and per invitation only. If you are not an existing member of Economist Intelligence Corporate Network, but would like to learn how you can attend our events, please send an email to ecn_sea@economist.com.
