A full day in Kuala Lumpur, a curated room of Rebelpreneurs, and a partner ladder built so your brand gets talked about long after the doors close.
You pay, you get a slide, a pull-up banner and a table by the toilets. The brand is forgotten by lunchtime and the lead list is a spreadsheet of people who wanted the free tote.
BeyondFest is the flagship gathering of The Beyond, a community of Rebelpreneurs moving from freelance work to a business worth selling. The theme is System and Soul, the tactics that scale a company fused with the human truth that makes anyone care.
Founders, operators, creators and agency owners at the point where they are actively spending to grow. Software, infrastructure, financial services, legal, hiring, travel and education all sit inside their live budget lines.
They come from The Beyond, a community of 778 members across Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Bangkok, Bali, Manila and Mumbai, plus the wider Kuala Lumpur startup and creator ecosystem. The room is held at 200 so the density of decision makers stays high.
Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian and Filipino founders all reach it cheaply. One day buys you four markets in one room.
Your Q4 spend lands while their next-year planning is still open. Conversations started here close in Q1.
Every partner above renewed, extended or referred us onward. That record is the number worth reading.
Partners who put in venue, coffee, wellness, prizes or crew. They are named from stage, on the partner wall and in the recap.
| Partner | What they bring |
|---|---|
| Synapze Greybox | The venue and crew for the full day. |
| Kee Nguyen Vietnam Coffee | Coffee across the room, all day. |
| Let Me Be | Human Design booth on the partner floor. |
| Fuel Stop, one slot open | Feeds the room for the day. See the ladder below. |
Every speaker is filtered through one test. They bring the System, the framework anyone can copy on Monday morning, and the Soul, the human truth that makes the room care. A talk carrying only one of the two gets passed.
More names land through September and October. Speaker announcements run across the Rebel Digest, WhatsApp broadcast and socials on the full runway to 13 November, so partners confirmed early ride every one of them.
The Beyond is built on six values and BeyondFest enforces every one of them on the day. Read them before you buy, because they shape what a partner can and cannot do in this room.
| Rule | What it means on 13 November |
|---|---|
| Bold | Working sessions outweigh keynotes. Attendees leave with a draft in their hands. |
| Empowering | Any speaker showing a tool that removes people says where those people go next. |
| Yourself | Pitching from the floor is redirected. Booths demonstrate, and Pitch Fight is the one stage for a pitch. |
| Open | Every session leaves a tool on the table. Every speaker keeps their filmed talk forever. |
| Naked | Every speaker puts one real number on screen. It is a condition of the slot. |
| Demanding | The ticket page states who this is for and screens on intent, so the room stays dense. |
A partner who works with these rules gets remembered. A partner who works against them gets tuned out inside five minutes, which is the honest version of what this audience does.
Opening Chaos. Knowledge Shares across branding, business, content, AI and storytelling. Eavesdrop Sessions. Lightning Rant. Pitch Fight. Unconference breakouts the audience runs themselves. A BX movement segment to reset the room after lunch. Destiny Draw to close, then Eclipse Afterdark, the official afterparty, held for Planetary and Universal pass holders.
| Mechanic | What it does for you |
|---|---|
| Stage presence | A keynote, a fireside or a three-minute stage moment. Your expert speaks as a peer, which is the only version this room accepts. |
| Booth and activation | A built experience with your name on it. Something attendees queue for, photograph and describe to someone else afterwards. |
| The unconference | Host a breakout on the problem your product solves. Highest-intent conversations in the building, and they come to you. |
| Community distribution | Rebel Digest, WhatsApp broadcast and social across the full runway. Your presence lands weeks before the doors open and continues after. |
| Content and data | Co-branded content produced with our team, plus an opted-in attendee dataset that respects consent and is genuinely usable. |
Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit with the US Dollar equivalent. The two hall rungs are quoted from, because a bundled activation or extra booth days can carry them higher. Everything else is the number.
About the passes. BeyondFest runs three attendee tiers. General Access is the full day, every track and every format. Planetary Access adds the Long Table lunch with the speakers, Eclipse Afterdark entry, priority seating and the premium launch kit. Universal Access adds the Rebel Scale Intensive on 12 November, a warm introduction to a speaker at the Long Table, the front row all day and a reserved table at Eclipse Afterdark. Eclipse Afterdark is open to Planetary and Universal holders only, which holds the afterparty to roughly fifty of the highest-spending founders in the building. Partner passes are allocated as listed on each rung.
General Access passes cover the full day and every track. Eclipse Afterdark is Planetary and Universal only, so a rung carrying Planetary passes puts your people in the afterparty room. The Eclipse Afterdark add-on carries its own five afterparty passes on top of whatever rung you take.
Table Top buys a position, Orbit buys reach. A brand selling something on the day takes the table. A brand who wants the audience to know its name takes Orbit and spends the day in conversations rather than behind a trestle. If you want both, that is Constellation.
Greybox splits into a main hall and a walkway. Every attendee passes through the walkway on the way in and on the way out. The main hall is where the stage is. Your rung decides which one you are on, so read this before you pick.
A fabricated 2.55m shell booth with your fascia, inside the room where the programme runs. Two positions exist for the whole event. When the room breaks between sessions, the crowd is already standing next to you.
A table position on the corridor every attendee walks through to reach the hall. Registration, coffee and the Destiny Draw collection point all sit here, so the traffic is enforced rather than hoped for. Roughly eleven positions.
The built shell booth is included at Nebula and Supernova. Any other partner who wants a fabricated booth rather than a table adds it at RM 3,000, quoted through our venue partner, subject to a main hall position being free.
Both sit on top of a cash rung.
Logo on the official run of tee, tote and lanyard. Named as merch partner on the site and recap. Capped at four logos so the garment stays wearable. Artwork and payment close 4 October, when the production order goes in.
Eclipse Afterdark is restricted to Planetary and Universal pass holders, roughly fifty founders who paid the most to be in the building. Naming on the bar and signage, a branded drink or activation, photo wall lockup, a call-out from stage at close of the main programme, and five afterparty passes. A small room of buyers rather than a crowd.
Leads, launch, positioning, hiring or category ownership. Name the outcome and we will build the package around it. Supernova is a single slot and it goes to whoever moves first.
