Had an amazing 10-minute business presentation from Alice Hang, sharing how she built meaningful business relationships from the ground up — one conversation at a time through Conexa.

From networking strategies and identifying the right rooms, to authentic follow-ups and relationship building, Alice gave a practical behind-the-scenes look into how she’s grown her network through 3,000+ in-person connections and 300+ events in just two years.

One of the biggest takeaways: “You don’t need a better memory. You need a better system.”

Her presentation also highlighted how Conexa helps professionals capture contacts, remember context, and follow up faster after events — turning conversations into real opportunities.

Thank you Alice for the insightful and engaging session, and for sharing such honest and actionable networking advice with the community! 🚀

Really enjoyed Alice Hang’s 10-minute education session from Conexa last week at Inspire!

Her talk, “Why Networking Doesn’t Work for Everyone,” shared a practical and refreshingly honest approach to networking with intention — especially for people looking for real opportunities, partnerships, referrals, and business growth instead of just collecting contacts.

One of the biggest takeaways:�“The sequence is the skill.”

Alice broke networking down into an 8-stage process:�✨ Outcome�✨ Right Room�✨ Right People�✨ Enter�✨ Carry�✨ Pitch�✨ Exit�✨ Follow-Up

A great reminder that successful networking isn’t about talking to everyone in the room — it’s about being intentional, building genuine connections, and following through consistently.

Thank you Alice for such a valuable and actionable session! 👏

GPS Accounting’s tagline, “Clear Direction in a Complex World,” perfectly reflects their approach to helping businesses navigate financial matters with confidence and clarity.

What really stood out was Anna’s engaging presentation style, professionalism, and genuine passion for supporting businesses operating in Thailand and internationally. Her ability to simplify complex financial topics made the session both informative and approachable.

Thank you, Anna, for an insightful and engaging presentation — and thank you to everyone who joined us at Inspire last Friday!

Shoutout to Jones, Chairman & CEO of HealthDeliver, for his 10-minute presentation at Inspire last Friday. 👏

Dean shared how HealthDeliver is redefining everyday healthcare—bringing medical services directly to people through clinics, home visits, and telehealth. It’s all about making healthcare more accessible, convenient, and human-centered.

What stood out most was the simplicity of the idea: healthcare that fits into your life, not the other way around. From supporting families to working with schools and organizations, HealthDeliver is building something that truly impacts communities.

Always inspiring to see members of the Inspire community sharing ideas that solve real-world problems and make a difference.

Excited to see what’s next 🚀

Last Friday at Inspire, we had an amazing 10-minute presentation from Manuel Hernandez from Chicha Superfoods 🙌

What we loved most was how he’s not just building a brand — he’s building partnership opportunities.

From delicious Latin-inspired baked goods like empanadas, alfajores, and pão de queijo to nutrient-rich drinks inspired by South American superfoods — everything is rooted in authentic, homemade recipes and quality ingredients.
But what really stood out was his B2B vision:
✨ Catering for events (diplomatic, corporate, wellness, community, privates)
✨ Supplying coffee shops with unique bakery items
✨ Bringing something different to menus across Bangkok

If you’re a café owner, event organizer, or just someone who loves discovering unique food concepts — this is definitely a brand to connect with.

Support local, support passionate founders 💛

Last Friday at Inspire, Hemant Balwani delivered a powerful 10-minute presentation that gave us a clear and practical look into expanding businesses across Southeast Asia 🌏

With over 25+ years of experience across banking, recruitment, and HR services, Hemant shared his journey—from leaving the banking industry during the GFC to building and scaling multiple successful businesses, and now growing ADI’s regional presence.

One of the key highlights was how companies can easily expand into Malaysia, with insights on:

• Streamlined processes (similar to BOI in Thailand)

• Managing expat payroll and compliance

• Access to multilingual talent

• Practical tax considerations

He also broke down what makes a strong lead, helping all of us better identify real business opportunities:

→ Companies expanding into Malaysia

→ Teams deploying staff for projects

Super insightful, practical, and straight to the point 👏

Thank you, Hemant Balwani, for sharing your experience and making cross-border expansion feel much more accessible for everyone.

Animesh Sengupta from NIIFT delivered an insightful 10-minute presentation introducing the VTHERM product range — a series of industrial heating and energy systems designed to help factories run more efficiently.

For those unfamiliar with this type of technology, these systems essentially generate steam, heat, or hot air that factories need for manufacturing processes.

The VTHERM range includes solutions powered by oil, gas, or biomass fuels, giving companies flexibility depending on their energy needs and sustainability goals.

Some of the key systems introduced include:
• Steam Boilers – used by factories to produce steam for production processes.
• Thermal Oil Heaters – provide consistent high-temperature heat used in many industrial applications.
• Biomass Boilers – systems that generate heat using renewable fuels like wood chips, rice husk, or agricultural waste.
• Hot Air Generators – used in industries such as food production, medical ingredient manufacturing, and powder processing.

What stood out during the presentation was how these systems are designed to be efficient, flexible with fuel types, and adaptable for different industries.

Thank you, Animesh, for sharing a clear introduction to how these technologies help power modern manufacturing.

Last Friday at Inspire, members heard an inspiring 10-minute business showcase from Jozef Bosmans (Jos) of BMS Recruitment (Thailand) Co. Ltd.

Jos shared how BMS Recruitment goes beyond the usual surface-level candidate screening. Instead, they take a deep-dive approach into candidate profiles, ensuring the right match between employer and employee—not just on paper, but in terms of long-term fit, skills, and company culture.

BMS Recruitment works across cross-industry roles that exist in almost every SME, including positions such as accountants, lawyers, engineers, and other key professionals essential to business operations.

During his presentation, Jos also spoke about the role of AI in modern recruitment—how it can support many aspects of the process. However, he emphasized that what truly creates successful placements is the human insight, judgment, and relationship-building that goes beyond what technology alone can provide.

BMS Recruitment offers two main recruitment routes depending on the needs of the company:

• Contingency Search – a “no cure, no pay” model where companies only pay once the right candidate is successfully placed.
• Retained Search – a premium, highly focused recruitment process involving deeper research, exclusive collaboration, and a more strategic search for top-quality candidates.

If you know the key decision maker at an SME who is looking to hire high-quality talent for critical roles, feel free to connect them with Jos via his website: https://bmsrecruitment.co.th/
