🌴 [save the date] HiveFest10 - 15–19 Oct 2025 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! 🇲🇾

Heya my dear fellow Hiveans of the world!

I can hardly believe it... HiveFest is turning 10! 😱 A full decade of meeting up IRL (and VR!), sharing stories, ideas, hugs, drinks (some), and countless moments that made this community what it is today.

So where do we celebrate this double-digit milestone? Somewhere buzzing, vibrant, and full of life, yes yes!...

Embedded Image

Yes! HiveFest10 is setting up shop in the heart of Southeast Asia this October. Tropical energy, skyscrapers meets street food, jungle vibes and cutting-edge tech all mashed together in one epic, sweaty, spicy, unforgettable location.

📅 Dates: October 15–19, 2025

Expect the usual suspects:

🛬 Day 0 (Wed): Touchdown, badge up, cold drinks in hand. Welcome to KL!
🎤 Day 1 & 2 (Thu + Fri): Talks, workshops, panels, and proper IRL face-time with fellow Hivers.
🏙️ Day 3 (Sat): Chill Hive Expo, explore the city, do something fun, eat something weird.
🍻 Day 4 (Sun): Wind-down day with a closing dinner, more drinks, more hugs. And travel on together?

🇲🇾 Why Malaysia?

Malaysia ticks all the boxes: it’s budget-friendly, easy to reach, and welcoming to travelers with relaxed visa policies for most nationalities. Kuala Lumpur is a dynamic, accessible hub with amazing food, a great climate, and a perfect blend of modern infrastructure and Southeast Asian soul.

HiveFest traditionally alternates between European and non-European destinations. The last time we brought the Hive (then Steem) community to Asia was back in 2019 in Bangkok — five years ago already! A return to the region is long overdue, and KL is ready to host us in style.

🧳 Before or After? Why Not Both?

HiveFest might be your perfect excuse to start (or end) a trip through Asia. With Malaysia’s tropical islands, plus Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia just a stone’s throw away, you’ve got an entire region to explore — solo or with your new HiveFest crew.

🏨 Coming Up Next: Hotel Deals

Keep your eyes peeled — affordable accommodation deal will be announced soon with an official HiveFest hotel / basecamp.

Subscribe to the newsletter, follow the X, hop in the Telegram group so you don't miss a thing and be sure visit the brand new hivefe.st website.

Can’t wait to see you in the tropics! Start making travel plans!

You have chosen an interesting destination, which is awesome! Entering the country is not a problem for some of us… we just need a passport. However, they are really strict about what kind of medication you can bring into the country. If they take my medication away, I will have a big problem. 🤔 I really want to go! But I don't want to end up in prison 😂

Thanks for flagging this. super important and definitely something everyone bringing meds should think about!🙏 Malaysia does have strict rules, especially for anything “controlled,” but with a doctor’s note, original packaging, and under 30 days’ supply, it’s usually fine. Folks can and should check their meds here too: https://quest3plus.bpfk.gov.my/pmo2/index.php - Would love to see you there!
