Wild Digital Indonesia 2021 will be held in conjunction with Wild Digital Southeast Asia 2021, putting the focus on accelerated growth as seen from the region and its largest market.
Wild Digital, the region’s premier tech conference powered by Catcha Group, is bringing back Wild Digital Indonesia 2021 for its 4th edition.
Part of their conference series, the event will be fully virtual on 8-9 September 2021, and will be expecting 60+ speakers, 20+ live sessions and 800+ attendees.
In recent years, Southeast Asia has shifted into innovation high gear to overtake global competitors in the region, thus reshaping and changing the rules of the game. Ahead of the pack is Indonesia, whose growing pool of unicorns and “soonicorns” tech startups are making waves as regional giants, primed to play in the global arena.
Wild Digital’s theme for the year is Indonesia: Fueling Southeast Asia, the Next Digital Powerhouse – and aims to highlight this leading market that is poised to pave way for Southeast Asia’s post-pandemic boom.

The conference
While the pandemic continues to put a hold on plans for Wild Digital’s annual on-ground conference, it has not stopped them in curating the best online conference experience for attendees. Doing so has given Wild Digital even more room to push boundaries, and the runaway success of their last few virtual events speak for themselves – Wild Digital Southeast Asia 2020 had 129 speakers and 1900+ attendees over the 4-day conference!
