LAST CHANCE: The Clock Is Ticking

by: Harvin Kaur

The window is closing.

On 21 May 2026, some of the sharpest minds in branding, creativity, AI, strategy and business transformation will gather under one roof at KLGCC Convention Centre for The Malaysian Marketing Conference 2026 and this is your final call to be in the room. The conference is now in its 15th year and returns with a theme that feels more urgent than ever: FEARLESS.

This is not another conference built on recycled buzzwords, predictable panels or safe conversations.

This year’s agenda is designed for marketers, founders, business leaders, strategists, creatives and decision-makers who understand one thing: the market is changing too fast for hesitation.

AI is rewriting workflows. Consumer behaviour is fragmenting. Competition is sharper. Budgets are tighter. Expectations are higher.

Playing safe is no longer a strategy.

At Malaysian Marketing Conference 2026, you’ll hear directly from leaders who have built brands, transformed businesses, challenged conventional thinking and stayed relevant through disruption.

Meet the FEARLESS speaker lineup:

  • Prof Harmandar Singh – Organising Chairman & Creative Provocateur
  • Jamshed Wadia – Founder, AIdeate Solutions
  • VJ Anand – Founder & Chief Experiment Officer, Ballsy
  • Linda Hassan – Former Group CMO, Domino’s Pizza Malaysia & Singapore
  • Mia Goh – Manager, Ms. Bianca
  • Oliver Chong – Strategy Planning Executive, Dentsu
  • Anson Goh – Regional Performance Marketing Lead, Mars Wrigley
  • Amira Mahathir – Creative Strategy, ZUS Coffee
  • Santharuban Thurai Sundaram – Former CEO, Etika Group of Companies
  • Adam Wee – Former Group CMO, Maybank & CIMB Group; Founder & CEO, ExplorAR
  • Lisette Scheers – Founder & Creative Director, NALA Designs
  • Rudy Khaw – Former CEO, AirAsia brand.co; Founder, Lobby Hours
  • Hando Sinisalu – Founder, Marketing Parrot, Estonia
  • Chris Jaques – Founding Partner & CEO, Transformation Group

Expect bold conversations on:

  • Marketing in the AI era
  • Fearless creativity in a world drowning in sameness
  • Building future-proof brands
  • B2B marketing that actually drives business
  • Leadership, team dynamics and transformation
  • Career lessons, failures, war stories and real-world market truths

Beyond the stage, this is also where Malaysia’s marketing ecosystem reconnects with networking opportunities alongside brand leaders, agency heads, digital specialists, entrepreneurs and rising talent across the industry.

If you’ve been thinking about attending, this is the moment.

Not next week. Not “maybe later.”
