Your student life,
sorted.

Following the success of Flagright’s first financial crime handbook, the new Global Handbook for AI in Financial Crime Compliance asks how far AI can go in fighting financial crime, and how you defend every decision it makes. Malaysia has never needed the answer more. Online commercial crime nearly doubled in 2025, with almost RM3 billion lost. Police flagged more than 50,000 mule accounts in 2024. RMiT already requires behavioural risk profiles for every customer and checks on transfers to suspected mules. But by the time money reaches a mule, the scam has already worked. Every mule was a normal account once, and criminals plan the whole chain, from the scam that takes the money to the accounts that move it. What could AI catch if it thought like a criminal? To help answer that, we are joined by Malaysia’s leading crime prevention expert, Dr. Shamir Rajadurai , founder of Prevent Crime Now, who will open the morning with a talk on how criminals actually plan and run these operations, followed by a fireside chat on what that means for catching mules early. Join fraud, AML, and compliance leaders from Malaysian financial institutions for breakfast, a panel, and a live demo of AI catching a mule. Agenda 7:30 AM: Registration and coffee refreshments 8:30 AM: Panel discussion 9:15 AM: Live demo: catching a mule before it moves money 9:30 AM: Brunch and networking 11:00 AM: Close Panel Themes Spotting a mule before the first dirty ringgit lands, even when the account holder doesn’

STRETCH FOR TECH PEOPLE — Fix Your Neck Sunset Session For everyone whose neck, shoulders, and lower back have paid the price of a laptop screen. A focused stretch session built specifically around desk-body damage, in the green quiet of Taman Rimba Kiara. Led by Rina — a certified RYT 200 yoga instructor and Senior Product Designer with 13+ years of experience, previously working with brands like Meta, Microsoft, Verizon, and Royal Caribbean. 45 minutes targeting neck, shoulders, hips, and wrists — the areas that take the worst hit from sitting all day. No yoga experience needed, just an aching upper back. We'll wrap with sunset networking among the trees — good for meeting people from KL's tech, startup, and Mont Kiara/TTDI expat scene, no pitching required, just decompressing together after work. Bring: a mat (spares on site), water, whatever you were wearing at your desk is fine. — On site: SKINNYMOM pop-up rack (silk pieces, browsing only — no pressure)

One day. One idea. Something worth demoing. Close out the year by building with AI Builders at the Qoder End Of Year Hackathon in Kuala Lumpur. Join developers, engineering leaders, and technical founders for a full day of hands-on workshops, focused building, and live demos. Bring a problem you want to solve and turn it into a working prototype. Why build with Qoder? Qoder is an agentic coding platform that helps you move from an idea to implementation. Its agents can plan development tasks, work across files, and use tools to write and troubleshoot code, while you guide the work and review the results. Repo Wiki adds structured knowledge about a repository’s architecture, modules, and workflows to help you navigate unfamiliar code. This is your chance to put those capabilities to work on a real project. For developers, it’s time to experiment and build. For technical leaders, it’s a practical way to explore where AI agents fit into your team’s engineering workflow—from defining a task to reviewing what gets built. Learn in the morning. Build in the afternoon. Start with Qoder workshops, then apply what you’ve learned in an afternoon build sprint. Create a useful developer tool, prototype a product idea, or tackle a workflow that deserves a better solution. Aim for something you can show, explain, and keep developing after the event. The day’s schedule All times are Kuala Lumpur time (GMT+8). 9:00 AM–12:00 PM · Qoder workshops Explore Qoder and prepare for the afternoon buil

Code Meets Animation: Malaysia SwiftLah! Community x LottieFiles Software is going headless. More of what we build is now generated, composed and shipped through code, prompts and agents rather than drawn by hand in a UI. So where does motion fit when the canvas disappears? Code Meets Animation is an afternoon by the SwiftLah! Community and LottieFiles hosted by MyToday for developers, designers and builders who want to bring motion into the way they already work. We’ll look at what happens when animation becomes something you can describe, generate and control in code, and how teams are building brand, design and motion systems that agents can use. We’ll also give you a first look at something we’ve been building for developers around motion. Come see it, try it, and tell us what you think. What to expect: A look at the shift to headless creation and what it means for motion Live demos of Creator MCP, Lottie AI and Frolic: generating animation, wiring it to your design system and making it interactive without opening an editor Talks from our co-hosts on how they ship motion in real products A live build challenge with prizes Venue: MyToday, 3rd Floor, Atria Shopping Gallery, Jalan SS 22/23, Damansara Jaya, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Limited seats!

The early years of a career are where we learn through smaller tasks, mistakes and feedback. If AI handles more of that work, where does the next generation get its experience? Join us for a fireside conversation about learning, mentorship and career progression in the age of AI. We'll explore what it takes to develop judgment when you can generate an answer before you fully understand the problem. We'll discuss: What should juniors learn to do themselves? How can managers give people meaningful experience as their work changes? What demonstrates ability when AI can help produce a polished portfolio? How should hiring and mentorship adapt? This conversation is for students, early-career professionals, managers, mentors and educators thinking about how people grow at work. Bring questions about your own career or the people you're helping develop.

☕ SOLO TRAVELLERS' TEA BREAK Connecting People Beyond the Conference. Attending GBS Global Summit 2026 in Kuala Lumpur? Travelling solo? Or simply looking to meet some interesting people beyond your usual professional circle? We've got a table for you. The AI Collective, Kuala Lumpur invites international delegates, independent travellers, startup founders, entrepreneurs, AI practitioners, technology professionals and business leaders to an informal networking gathering alongside GBS Global Summit 2026. Because travelling solo shouldn't mean spending an entire conference meeting people only when someone introduces you. And networking shouldn't feel like another corporate obligation. Step away from the conference environment, leave the formalities behind and join fellow delegates, local founders and members of Malaysia's growing artificial intelligence and technology ecosystem for an afternoon of conversations, tea, coffee and evening bites. Whether you're visiting Malaysia from overseas, travelling from another part of Southeast Asia or based right here in Kuala Lumpur, this is an opportunity to connect with people beyond the conference programme. No awkward elevator pitches. No corporate networking theatre. No complicated introductions. Just interesting people, good conversations and the possibility of connections that go well beyond a cup of tea. 🌏 ABOUT THE SOLO TRAVELLERS' TEA BREAK The Solo Travellers' Tea Break is an informal community networking meetup hosted by The AI
