W.Media’s ambitious SIJORI Week, where we showcased the vibrant Cloud and Data Center industry in the Singapore (SI), Johor (JO) in Malaysia, and Batam in the Riau Islands (RI) in Indonesia, came to a close with the Singapore Cloud and Datacenter Convention (SGCDC).
This is where we brought together over 3,000 delegates including including C-level executives, digital infrastructure professionals including architects, engineers and consultants (AECs), key buyers, decision makers, data center owners and operators.
The day-long SGCDC was held at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, and saw the who’s who of the industry, not only network and mingle with their peers, but also share their wealth of wisdom via carefully curated presentations and power-packed panel discussions.
Speakers included the crème-de-la-crème from organizations such as Alibaba Cloud, Cushman & Wakefield, GDS, Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL), Microsoft, Onion Technology, Oppo, Princeton Digital Group (PDG), Structure Research, Uptime Institute, YTL Data Centers and many more. Speakers from government organizations like Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and Thailand Data Center Association (TDCA) (formerly TDCC), also participated.
This year, we tried something new: apart from the main event in the plenary hall, we also had a breakout session in the expo area. This is W.Media’s new offering, titled CenterStage, where industry veterans and experts came together to talk about technologies and innovations that they are most excited about in a more casual and intimate setting. Here too we got industry heavy-weights and big-wigs to share their experience and expertise.
Earlier in SIJORI Week, 60 senior executives from leading enterprises, hyperscalers, colocation providers, and OTT companies, teed off in style at W.Media’s first of its king SIJORI Golf Open, a networking event held on the greens at held at Padang Golf Sukajadi in Batam, Indonesia.

Then came two Interconnect World Forum industry events, one in Batam (Indonesia) and another in Johor (Malaysia). These exclusive, invitation-only events focused on the critical role of digital infrastructure in the development of their respective regions. Beyond the insightful presentations and panel discussions, the Interconnect World Forum offered ample networking opportunities for participants to connect with stakeholders from telecommunications, submarine networks, investment, data centers, power, and land development.
