What is BEACON?

BEACON is Better.sg’s annual flagship conference, created to bring together changemakers across tech, government, and civil society to explore how technology can serve care, connection, and community.

In 2023, we launched our inaugural edition with leaders from Carousell, The Majurity Trust, Homage, GIVE.Asia, HERA Digital Health, and better.sg projects.

2024’s edition drew over 250 participants, gathering policymakers, entrepreneurs, and grassroots leaders to spark cross-sector dialogue and showcase how #techforgood is shaping real-world impact.

What is better.sg?

Better.sg is a platform which brings volunteers together to explore how we could use technology to address social issues and empower non-profit organisations. Our mission is simple: to create a better Singapore through #techforgood.

Since Better.sg was founded in 2020, we have grown to a community with more than 2,300 volunteers. They include software developers, designers, data scientists, product managers, digital marketers, all of whom are committed to using their skillset to assist non-profit organisations and social causes.

When and where will BEACON take place?

BEACON 2026 will take place on Saturday, 14 November 2026 at Marina One Auditorium.

Who should attend BEACON?

Anyone with a passion and vision to amplify social impact through technology. We believe in the power of communities, and the power of technology. If you’re a non-profit curious about how to streamline or scale your operations; if you’re a tech professional and you want to find out how your skills can contribute to something meaningful; if you’re a curious cat interested in the intersection between technology and social good, come join us!
