THIS DOES NOT BUY A BETA TICKET. This is your donation to our little fund (called Spiffy, for the Splice Pay It Forward Fund) so we can all help folks who couldn’t otherwise afford planes and hotels to get to Splice Beta in Chiang Mai. We'd like to thank you publicly on our website and other materials, but let us know if you'd rather stay anonymous.

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 😍

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.
