Picture a day where the relentless spirit and ingenuity of Silicon Valley merge with the pulsating energy of a cyberpunk world and you get KUALA LUMPUR SLUSH'D 2024 - 'SHOCK THE SYSTEM'.

ABOUT

19-21 MAY 2025
GEORGE TOWN, PENANG | MALAYSIA

In a world increasingly defined by division, the global landscape has become more fragmented than ever. Borders, both physical and ideological, are hardening, while digital spaces simultaneously connect and isolate us. Yet, within this fragmentation lies an opportunity: to build bridges, to find common ground, and to create new pathways for collaboration.

Penang Slush'D's theme "Between Worlds," speaks to this moment, inviting us to navigate the cracks and build connections where others see separation. It's a call to embrace the complexity of our times and reimagine what's possible when we dare to step into the in-between.

Set within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Penang, this anti-conference invites dreamers, creators, and disruptors to explore the intersections of tradition and technology, local and global, and the tangible and digital.

Be part of the movement. Be Between Worlds.
