Here’s last year’s Beta so you can see what the fuss is about 😍
It’s your chance to build the community

What is Splice Beta?
An inclusive and diverse media startup festival in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.
Beta is the only event in Asia that brings together the global media ecosystem.
We’re Alan and Rishad, the co-founders of Splice, and we think this is still the golden age of media. Let us show you what it looks like.
Tuktuk therapy for all.
Who is Beta for? The global information ecosystem
Media startup founders, creators, tech folks, investors, journalists, media development donors, product managers, media program managers, and academics.
Diversity, inclusivity, and access are a big deal for us.
65.6% of registrants at Splice Beta 2024 had never attended Beta before, came from 48 countries, were 53.3% female, and worked at over 133 organisations.
These numbers are not a coincidence: they’re 100% intentionally designed like this with pride. So if we mess up on these stats, hold us accountable.
Spiffy is the Splice Pay It Forward Fund.
Help someone get to Beta
Plane tickets and hotels are out of reach for a lot of people. Please consider donating to our Beta fund.
Splice Beta helps connect to opportunities for all of us in media — from business models and audiences to grants and jobs. Let’s make sure everyone has a seat at the table.
Yaling and Anu, thank you for your kind donations to the Splice community 😍
This is not a Beta ticket. This is a donation to our fund so that we can help people who can’t afford travel to get to Splice Beta 😍
