Dear subscriber,

At Monocle we are passionate about how businesses are built and how leadership is exercised. That’s why we are bringing these two dynamic conversations on stage in Shanghai and Bahrain.

The Entrepreneurs Live

Shanghai

Wednesday 29 April 2026

The Entrepreneurs Live is a new Monocle conference series built on nearly two decades of reporting on how businesses are started, grown and sustained. From our monthly magazine and our Entrepreneurs annual to our weekly radio programme of the same name, we know what it takes for a start-up or an established player to thrive.

Join us in Shanghai for inspiring interviews and lively panel discussions with founders, investors and operators who are shaping businesses across China and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

The Chiefs 2026

Bahrain 

Wednesday 6 to Thursday 7 May 2026

The Chiefs is Monocle’s global gathering of industry chiefs – a forum for senior leaders with practical business lessons and considered perspectives for the year ahead. 

Across two days, discussions will cover everything from sustainability and urbanisation to hospitality, investment and opportunities in the region and beyond. The programme offers in-depth interviews, revealing conversations and time for delegates to share ideas and perspectives.

Hosted by Monocle’s chairman, Tyler Brûlé, and myself, the conference convenes more than 100 delegates, including C-suite executives, founders and decision-makers from around the world. The day’s sessions are followed by a fun networking dinner – an opportunity to continue the conversation and forge new connections.
