Alvin Teoh, Kancil Creative Festival’s Creative Council Chairman(pictured above) said, “The theme ‘Belief Creates’ is very apt in today’s world, where so many things that leave an impact on us are driven by beliefs. The festival focuses on the fundamentals of the “why” in our actions, which help us unlock the potential of what we can achieve as an agency, a business, a community, or as individuals.”

Teoh added, “With this group of speakers at the festival, we are excited to see how their beliefs will inspire others to develop brands, fuel causes, push boundaries in technology, create meaning, spark curiosity, build bridges, and design things that last.”

Karthi Palanisamy, Organising Chairman of the festival said, “Following the success of the inaugural Kancil Creative Festival last year, we hope to surpass the feat by creating more exhilarating experiences for festival-goers with the diverse roster of expert speakers. With an inspiring setting like the revived RexKL, we know attendees will take home not only fresh perspectives, but also a renewed sense of purpose.”
