Ditch the Pitch: Bangkok Big Talk Invites Leaders to ‘Skip Small Talk’

In an era of digital noise and surface-level “mixers,” Bangkok Big Talk is introducing a radical new format: networking through collective thinking. This initiative invites founders and executives to stop performing and start connecting through structured, deep-question dialogues.

“Business cards don’t build empires; deep trust does,” says Pacharee Pantoomano, MD of Brandnow. asia

Co-host Deepty Tiwari adds, “We are creating the ‘anti-networking’ space founders need to build the high-impact relationships essential for scaling.

“Bangkok Big Talk is building a vital space for honest, pressure-free connection, offering people a rare opportunity to share values and deep conversation in an increasingly busy world,”  says Eve Petrova, a public speaking trainer and experienced moderator.

The “Big Talk” Experience: Depth by DesignThe event replaces the “elevator pitch” with a curated environment for intellectual intimacy:

  • Intimate Circles: Limited to 16–24 participants total, then divided into small groups of 4–6 people. This ensures psychological safety, focused attention, and meaningful airtime for every voice. 
  • The “Space to Speak” Protocol: A moderated format where every participant speaks, reflects, and is truly heard before the floor opens.
  • The Catalyst: Instead of “What do you do?”, we ask:
    • At what point do people betray themselves?
    • What does freedom actually mean to you?
    • Why is professional vulnerability so difficult?
