List of the best tech startup events in Asia in 2013

Inspired by TechCrunch’s list of the best annual tech startup events in Europe for 2013, we attempt to do the same for Asia here.

However, we are not just focusing on events that have been happening annually. The technology startup event and conference scene in Asia is active, but still sees less activity when we compare ours to the scenes in North America and Europe. We thus try to note all the interesting events that are of mid-size and above. We are disregarding small group monthly meetups for now (there would be too many to list).

Big thanks to Steph for helping me with this list and Albert for contributing as well.

There are still many events we know will happen, but they just have no dates fixed yet. So bookmark this list as we continue to update it with new info.

We can make this list comprehensive with your help! If you see any major event missing, please drop us a note. The startup community will be grateful to you for your help, as we will we.
