What is the New Vietnam?
Vietnam is in the middle of one of the most remarkable transformations in modern history. In a single generation, the country has moved from isolation to integration, from scarcity to ambition, from tradition to experimentation.
ViCo Summit 2026 asks a deliberately open question: what is the New Vietnam?
5 changemakers from across the spectrum come to share their thoughts. We use it as a conversation starter, surfacing diverse perspectives on how working culture is shifting, how enterprise is evolving, and how identity and creativity are being redefined.
The Summit is ViCo's annual flagship: built around genuine connection and meaningful conversation rather than the standard conference format. And a party after to connect and celebrate our first year!
The Summit brings together a multi-disciplinary audience of around 60 people:
A curated set of organizations will have showcase tables during the event, giving you direct access to projects, ventures, and initiatives working on Vietnam's future. Contact us to host a table with your (sustainable/social) products.
Three hours of structured conversation and ideas, followed by two hours of food, music, party and networking. We use participatory formats, designed to keep you moving and talking.
