SINGAPORE,  Sep 03, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Tech Week Singapore 2026 returns to the Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 29–30 September 2026. Organised by global events producer CloserStill Media, this year’s edition, themed “The Infrastructure Era”, will welcome Mr Tan Kiat How, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, as Guest of Honour on the first day of the event.

Tech Week Singapore 2026 will see the return of its flagship co-located shows, including Cloud & AI Infrastructure, DevOps Live, Cyber Security World, Big Data & AI World, and Data Centre World. The 2026 edition is set to host over 600 regional and international speakers with special conference theatres.

“As AI moves from experimentation into enterprise operations, the question for technology leaders is no longer whether to adopt new systems, but whether the infrastructure beneath them is ready. Across Asia, that means focusing on the foundations required to scale responsibly, including resilient infrastructure, strong governance, sustainable usage of energy and the right technical capabilities,” said CloserStill Media’s Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Andy Kiwanuka. “Now in its 12th edition, Tech Week Singapore remains a major meeting point for the region’s technology ecosystem. With the launch of Tech Week Shanghai earlier this year, we are building on that foundation to extend these conversations across Asia, connecting government, enterprise leaders and the infrastructure ecosystem shaping the next phase of digital growth.”

What’s New at Tech Week Singapore 2026

• This year’s show marks the first time the Open Compute Project (OCP) will host OCP Southeast Asia Tech Day at Data Centre World Asia, as industry leaders convene to explore how open hardware and next-generation infrastructure are accelerating Asia’s digital infrastructure growth.
• For the first time, Cyber Security World Asia will introduce a Live Vehicle Cyber Hackathon. The competition challenges participants to test a vehicle’s cyber defences, driving innovation in AI-enabled vehicle security while bringing together future cybersecurity talent.
• Big Data & AI World will also host an AI Consultation Clinic by Beyondsoft, where enterprises can learn how to harness data and translate them into AI-driven business solutions.

These new additions reinforce Tech Week Singapore’s role as the region’s premier platform for technology decision-makers, as digital infrastructure and AI evolve hand-in-hand to unlock true enterprise transformation.

New competition invites authors to submit AI-generated and AI-assisted novels across six genre categories, with a grand prize that includes a publishing deal

United States, 3rd Sep 2026 — The Prompty Awards, a new literary competition honoring fiction created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), officially opened for submissions today. The awards recognize writers who are using AI not as a replacement for creativity, but as a tool for expressing it. The competition is open to established novelists, first-time authors, and everyone in between.

The awards recognize fiction across six categories: Literary Fiction, Science Fiction, Mysteries & Thrillers, Speculative Fiction, Romance, and Historical Fiction. Judges will evaluate entries on originality, storytelling, character development, craft, imagination, and the effective use of AI as part of the creative process.

“The Prompty Awards are not about proving that AI can write fiction. We already know it can,” said Hugh Taylor, the awards’ organizer. “The interesting question is what writers can create with it. Great storytelling still requires imagination. That is what we are celebrating.”

Prizes

One work will be named the Prompty Awards Grand Prize Winner and will receive $1,000 in cash and a publishing deal with Apateon Press. Each of the six categories will also award a Gold winner, who receives $500, and a Silver winner, who receives $100, along with official recognition from the Prompty Awards.

How to Enter

Writers may submit AI-generated or AI-assisted fiction, including novels and novellas. The early bird deadline is November 1, 2026, with an application fee of $25. The final submission deadline is December 31, 2026, with an application fee of $40. Winners will be announced on April 1, 2027.

Submission guidelines, rules, and entry forms are available at promptyawards.com.

About the Prompty Awards

The Prompty Awards were created to recognize a new generation of storytellers exploring what fiction can become in the era of AI-assisted writing. The competition welcomes writers of every background and experience level, from traditionally published authors experimenting with new tools to first-time writers who found that AI helped them tell a story they had always wanted to tell.
