About the Event

MSTW is the largest student-led technology conference in Malaysia, held annually in August.

The event has speakers and panels sessions whose topics covered local innovations in Malaysia and the imperative role of technology in social and environmental advancements.

Through this event, we provide a platform, where passionate students gain insights of technological trends and open doors to networking opportunities with industry experts to advance their ideas and explore opportunities in STEM.

Transcend

As we continue to approach the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Artificial Intelligence will inevitably become the norm in most aspects of our lives. The amalgamation of technologies has also blurred the lines between the physical, digital & biological spheres more than ever.

In the face of our very own creation, many including prominent tech figure Elon Musk believe that AI could potentially outperform us in every single aspect, which goes to show the impact it has on the human race. Amidst the rapid transformation and adoption of new technologies, it’s up to our generation to march humanity forward with a hunger to learn, to question, and to stay curious.

What sort of possibilities does the future have in store for us? What can WE do, to brace ourselves for a transcended playing field?
