ABOUT

Join us for an afternoon of stories about how design and technology work together with community-led partnerships to shape systems of care. Organised by Equitech Collective, this event brings together regional partners, community builders, and system designers who work across Asia to address pressing humanitarian needs in healthcare and education. From border health work along the Thai-Myanmar border with refugee and migrant communities to AI deployment in Timor Leste’s health system, this event features stories and learnings from building equity-advancing systems where access to health and education is most challenged.

Whether you’re a designer, technologist, changemaker, or simply curious, you’re welcome to join in an afternoon of honest dialogue and cross-sector inspiration, where big ideas meet grounded action. Leave with new insights and connections, and a clearer sense of how you, too, can play a part in designing a more equitable future.
