Agenda
Diffusion Borneo 2026 will unfold across the Kuching waterfront, turning the city itself into part of the experience.
From the heritage walls of the Old Court House to the striking modernity of the Borneo Cultures Museum, ideas move through spaces shaped by history, culture, and nature. Sessions spill beyond rooms and stages—onto river cruises along the Sarawak River, and into late-night conversations at waterfront bars where lasting connections are forged.
