Like summer camp for global founders, but with way better food and sleeping arrangements. Hosted at the 5-star Conrad Hilton in Bangkok.
A much-needed opportunity to get away from the isolation of being a business owner and into the company of other self-made founders like you.

A multicultural melting pot of entrepreneurs from all corners of the globe, enjoying the magic of Asia — home to millions of digital nomads and freedom chasers.
“DCBKK is THE event to go to — amazing people, amazing networking. This can't be missed.”

The Schedule
Before it begins
Pre-Event Activities
Get the party started with fellow DCers arriving early in Bangkok. Recent editions featured padel tournaments, golf meet-ups, disc golf, a comedy show, and the legendary "Scott's Drinky Time." Totally optional — but great ways to break the ice and get settled in.
Day 1 · Thursday, Oct 22
Meet-Up Day
The event officially kicks off with "Meet-Up Day," an opportunity to find your people for the week through targeted business and lifestyle conversations. From AI build labs to YouTube creator meet-ups to parenting sessions, there's something for everyone. We close out the day with a Welcome Party in the Conrad Ballroom.
Day 2 · Friday, Oct 23
Mastermind Day
Mastermind Day is designed to help you solve your most pressing business challenge by brainstorming with other founders in your industry. After a long day of problem-solving, we get together for a Tropical Party at the Conrad Pool — and there's a Kids' Party if you're bringing your little ones.
Day 3 · Saturday, Oct 24
Speakers, Workshops & Rooftop Party
Saturday brings actionable tactics through presentations and workshops by speakers from the community — real lessons, real numbers, real ideas. All women attendees are invited to the Women's Lunch, a connection point members look forward to every year. We close out Saturday with a private off-site party.
Day 4 · Sunday, Oct 25
Final Day & Closing Party
Sunday continues the presentations and workshops, then closes with our famous Road House pop-up bar before the tuk-tuk parade transports us to the "Going Out in Style" Closing Party. Dress to impress and get your picture taken at the DCBKK photo-opp wall.
After the curtain
Post-Event Travel & Coworking
Thailand is your oyster. DC members traditionally stay on in Bangkok to keep coworking with the community, and many head to Chiang Mai — some for a week, some for months. There's plenty to see and do, and lots of DCers living that side of the globe to keep you company.
For 7-figure founders
DC BLACK Day
DC BLACK Day coincides with Mastermind Day and features exclusive programming for members running businesses with 7+ figures ARR or a recent 7+ figure exit. Spend a day with high-level leaders — masterminds, a private dinner, and special guests — then continue enjoying the week with the rest of the community.

Content & Presentations
A taste of what DCBKK delivers. These sessions are from a recent edition — the 2026 program will feature similar topics and talking points.
Workshop · Growth / AI
A Product-Sprint Playbook for Founders
A DC member who has launched 4,500+ products breaks down the rapid product-sprint framework he uses to go from idea to validated traction in under a week. Learn how to turn your idea backlog into real products, test on Reddit and beyond, and build a lean AI stack that scales with you.
Hands-on · AI
AI Build Lab
Bring your idea, build it with AI. A short presentation followed by hands-on building with help from volunteers. All skill levels welcome, with prep work sent ahead so everyone is ready to start building during the workshop.
Talk · SEO / AI
AI Stacking: How to Rank in Google and LLMs
SEO isn't dead — it's evolving fast. Learn the exact "AI Stacking" strategy to make a business show up everywhere: in AI answers, in Google's AI Overviews, and at the top of organic results, with real case studies showing how the approach compounds.
Workshop · AI / Automation
From Basic Prompts to Autonomous Agents in 60 Minutes
A hands-on workshop walking through a 4-step framework for automating real business work with AI agents — moving from ChatGPT gimmicks to actual business impact, with real examples of agents doing work (not just writing content).
Talk · Leadership / Operations
The Burnout-Free Business
Why burnout is a business-model problem, not a personal failure — and how to structure your business to keep growing sustainably for years, before it breaks you. From a bootstrapped SaaS founder known for straight-talking advice on building businesses that fit your life.
Talk · Scaling
Scaling Takes a Village
The businesses that break through to scale build villages, not headcount. A playbook for identifying, developing, and mentoring people in your business — turning generalists into internal experts so your company can grow beyond yourself.
Plus dozens of member-led meet-ups: YouTube creators, personal finance, travel hacking, international tax structuring, parents, neurodivergent founders, and more. See the full DCBKK 2026 agenda →

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a ticket?
Step 1: Join Dynamite Circle or DC BLACK. Step 2: Secure your ticket in our private members-only forum. Step 3: Book your flight to Bangkok. Step 4: Book accommodation at the Conrad Hilton Bangkok with our special DCBKK discounted rate. Step 5: Focus on getting here — let us take care of the details.
Can I bring my family?
Yes! Many DCers bring their families and connect in a dedicated WhatsApp group to organize outings together. The conference itself is only for DCers with a ticket, but you can grab a Party Pass for your spouse or partner for the evening gatherings, and there's a Kids' Party on Friday night.
What should I wear?
"DC casual" is a-okay during the day — t-shirts and flip flops are fine. For evening parties most attendees prefer Smart Business Casual. Bangkok is hot and humid outside but the air-conditioned Conrad can be chilly, so many bring a sweatshirt or long pants. Party dress codes: Thursday Mixer (DC Casual), Friday Tropical Pool Party (tropical/floral), Saturday Night (Smart Casual), Sunday Closing Party (dress to impress!).
Is there an event app or a WhatsApp group?
Both! DCBKK runs on the DC Mobile App — our own custom app where you'll find the full schedule, organize and RSVP to meet-ups, bookmark sessions, see sponsors, and connect with other attendees. There's also a WhatsApp group that's active all year round for quick communication.
What happens after the event?
A large percentage of attendees head to Chiang Mai, Thailand — some for a week, some for more than a month. If you go, there are plenty of opportunities to meet DCers, and you can connect in the Chiang Mai Chapter's WhatsApp group.
Can I invite a friend?
Of course — they need to join Dynamite Circle to attend. Once you're a member, you can gift your friend 30 days of free access to the community. This is a members-only event, so everyone attending is an active member.
What's the refund policy?
The deadline for refund requests is 60 days before the event. If you request a refund before this date, you'll receive a refund minus the service fee. The ticket is valid only for the member who purchased it, and is non-transferable, non-sellable, and non-giftable.
