Over 100 IAB SEA+India members, one packed bar on Amoy Street, and just enough competitive energy to trigger a few Apple Watch “excessive noise” alerts… our 2026 Members Evening on 15th January delivered exactly what it promised.
To help people connect beyond their business bubbles, we took inspiration from Tiffin Time for our pub quiz; teams were formed, alliances were made, and quiz questions revealed skills we did not know our community had. There were loud cheers, playful trash talks, and a lot of new conversations between people who are usually clients, partners, or competitors.
Congratulations to the winning team, “Closest To The Bar”, captained by Sonal Patel from The Trade Desk, with teammates from Aderize, Dentsu, InMobi, OpenX, Teads and Tyroo. Proof that regional collaboration (and strategic positioning near refreshments) pays off!
Beyond the quiz, the night did what our Members Evenings do best. It brought together leaders from across Southeast Asia and India’s digital marketing ecosystem in a relaxed setting, making space for much needed connection, honest conversations, and a reminder that this industry is built by people first.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening such a good one!
