Solopreneur Show & Tell

by Cosmo Local CNX | May 30, 2026 | Events | 0 comments

When: Afternoon during Main Week
Where: Cult Caffeine, Wat Ket, Chiang Mai
Capacity: 80 to 120 guests

The Solopreneur Show and Tell is a month of building, out loud. Part showcase, part open floor. The Solopreneur Show & Tell has two acts. First, residency participants take the stage to present what they built over their month in Chiang Mai, honest progress, real collaborations, lessons learned. Then the floor opens up for anyone to pitch an idea, get feedback, or find a collaborator in the room. It is followed by a judging panel and prizes across three categories. Held at Cult Caffeine in the Wat Ket creative district, it is the kind of event that feels more like a conversation than a competition.

Format

Residency participant showcases, open public pitching segment, judging panel, and prizes across 3 award categories.
