Fuelling innovations and conversations.

Nestled in Glasshouse at Seputeh, a fusion of technology and creativity came alive as the recent RE x Samsung Experiential Networking session unfolded. On 12 November 2024, industry leaders, visionaries, and creatives gathered to broaden their horizons on the power of AI while igniting conversations. The atmosphere was electric as five titles—Harper’s BAZAAR Malaysia, GLAM, GLAM Lelaki, EH! and ICON—joined hands in creating a thread of innovation and inspiration for every guest.

 

Everything you need to know about the RE x Samsung Experiential Networking Session:

The evening kicked off with a curation of interactive experiences that brought cutting-edge exploration of innovations with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6. As guests made their way in, the first thing that caught their eye was the GLAM V.”AI”.P Wall. This special sentiment tugged their heart as we surprised them with an animated version of themselves into a 3D Cartoon using the Galaxy AI.

Later, it was onto the BAZAAR Expression Lounge. Together with BowerHaus, this station allowed creative souls to express themselves. With an array of stunning beaded phone charms to choose from, they picked one that matches their personality and chose a unique charm to complete the experience. Once that was done, guests posed with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 while they animated and sketched their images, which were later printed for them to take home as keepsakes. Whether by picking a phone chain and charm that deeply resonates with them or by uncovering the world of AI through ‘Sketch to Image,’ every guest was delighted to see their masterpieces come to life.

The fun does not end there. Next up, it was the EH! Beauty Circle with Handmade Heroes. Merging their world of beauty with tech, the EH! Beauty Circle was a chance to get creative. Guests were invited to snap a picture of the displayed beauty products while exploring the ‘Sketch to Image’ feature and ‘Quick Share’. In order to win a beauty sample from Handmade Heroes, they went down to business and uploaded their creations to their Instagram accounts.

At the GLAM LELAKI #GLWHO?, the next activation sparked curiosity in our guests as they answered an interactive personality quiz to uncover their ‘AI Character’. The quiz, designed to showcase the fun and creative side of AI, asked a series of questions to determine the guest’s ‘AI Character’. From 3D Cartoon and Comic to Watercolour and Sketch, their answers were revealed.

The best part? Using the Samsung Z Fold6, their portrait was taken and printed as they were transformed into their ‘AI Character’—what a treat!

As the day progressed, the ICON Social Affair sparked conversations amongst every individual as they met old and new friends during the Networking session. To fuel their conversation, HWC Coffee and Jacob’s Creek supplied an array of brews and cocktails that set the tone for a relaxing atmosphere.

That’s not all. A panel of luminary speakers took the stage, pairing multidisciplinary artist Dhan Illiani and musician and chef Sid Murshid, who shared insights on their craft, passions and dreams. As the conversation flowed, they also highlighted the power of connectivity through how AI has shaped and influenced their creativity.

Attendees leaned in and were captivated by the tales of triumphs, leaving an indelible mark on the audience. The next session featured two prominent names and entrepreneurs, fashion designer Nelissa Hilman and Kenny Hills Hospitality Group Managing Director Kai Zen Au, on the stage. Sparking curiosity and conversations, the talk includes insightful topics surrounding entrepreneurship, AI technology and personal growth.

The space buzzed with excitement as attendees engaged in the session by asking questions and engaging in spirited discussions, sparking new ideas and collaborations. Throughout the evening, guests mingled over delicious bites and refreshments as Teera Oliviae’s music filled the room.

As the night drew to a close, the energy remained as electric as ever. Guests departed the space with exciting goodies by Handmade Heroes, leaving the room with new aspirations and fresh ideas. The evening showcases the importance of community within the creative realm, proving that when visionaries come together, the possibilities to create are endless.
