Off to SuperAI: Curiosity Packed, Expectations Checked
What happens when you spend two days surrounded by the people building the future? I've been thinking about AI a lot lately. Not in the "AI is going to change everything" kind of way. We've all heard plenty of that. More in the practical sense. What is actually useful? What is genuinely helping businesses and people? And what is simply the latest shiny object demanding our attention for five minutes before the next one arrives? That's one reason I'm heading to SuperAI in Singapore on 10–11 June 2026.

I've been thinking about AI a lot lately.
Not in the "AI is going to change everything" kind of way. We've all heard plenty of that.
More in the practical sense. What is actually useful? What is genuinely helping businesses and people? And what is simply the latest shiny object demanding our attention for five minutes before the next one arrives?
That's one reason I'm heading to SuperAI in Singapore on 10–11 June 2026.
The event brings together founders, technologists, investors, and business leaders from around the world. On paper, it's a chance to see the latest breakthroughs and hear where the industry is heading.
What interests me most, though, are the conversations happening between the presentations.
After more than 30 years in the MSP community, one thing has become clear: technology rarely changes businesses on its own. People do.
The real value often comes from asking simple questions:
What problem are we actually trying to solve?
Does this make life better for our teams and customers?
Are we adding complexity or removing it?
What should we stop doing because AI can now help?
Those questions tend to matter more than the latest product announcement.
I'm looking forward to seeing what's new, challenging a few assumptions, and probably discovering that some of the most valuable insights come from a chat over coffee rather than a keynote stage.
No doubt there will be plenty of impressive demos. There may even be a few moments of "Computer Says No" when the technology doesn't quite behave as advertised.
Either way, I'm heading there with curiosity rather than certainty.
If you're attending SuperAI as well, I'd love to hear what you're hoping to learn. And if you're not, what's the one question about AI you'd most like answered right now?
