Keynote:
David vs Goliath: How AI Brought Out the Goliath in Us​

Big companies have bigger teams, deeper pockets and more firepower. So how does David still win? Pat Law built GOODSTUPH Singapore at 27, made her first million by 28, then watched the industry’s Goliaths poach the talent she had trained with salaries she could never match. Instead of fighting on their terms, she changed the battlefield.
 
In this fast, candid keynote, Pat reveals how AI became the modern slingshot: helping her team move from weeks of research and risk testing to just 48 hours, while keeping human judgment firmly in charge. From her no-questions-asked $100 monthly AI experiment allowance to real campaigns, she shares practical ways SMEs can move faster, test smarter and turn size into strength.
 
Come ready to rethink what small can do.
