The Bangkok Startup Association (BSA) is redefining the way founders, investors, and creatives connect in Thailand with the launch of "DISRUPTORS - A BSA Social Gathering: Where Ambition Meets Atmosphere." The first of this limited-edition rooftop series will take place on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at Escape Bangkok, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Set high above the bustle of the city at EmQuartier's rooftop, DISRUPTORS offers a more relaxed, meaningful alternative to traditional networking events. With a carefully curated guest list, the gathering is designed for authentic, human-to-human connectionssomething increasingly valued by Thailand's new generation of professionals.
BSA's DISRUPTORS taps into the future of networking now. While the post-COVID-19 era has seen young startups and the new generation leaning heavily on social media and digital platforms to connect, research in 2025 reveals that 89% of new generation professionals still believe that in-person events are essential for building confidence and meaningful professional relationships.1 And further, long gone are the rigid, formal structures of networking, where other studies confirm new generation professionals are reshaping the way business networking is donemoving to more informal and authentic interactions2.
Mr. Nikon Gormley, Head of Partnerships at BSA said "BSA is tapping into real insights in the way people want to connect. We see the advantages of online platforms but also recognize that real growth comes from face-to-face connections. Our members are looking for real conversations in real spaces. That's what DISRUPTORS is designed to offer. With a thriving community of over 1,300 members, DISRUPTORS is a valuable addition to the more than 20 events BSA has hosted since our official launch on December 13, 2025."
The DISRUPTORS event also marks a milestone in BSA's continued mission to connect and empower the startup ecosystem in Bangkok. It is part of a broader effort to support innovation through not just connectionsbut through curated experiences, workshops, and thought leadership.
