An evening with friends, partners and senior leaders from Singapore's finance, policy and workforce development ecosystem. No presentations, no agenda, only conversation.
CFTE welcomed friends, partners and members of Singapore's financial community to Lantern for the CFTE Summer Reception on Thursday 30 July 2026.
Against the backdrop of a Singapore sunset, the evening offered something increasingly valuable: the time and space for genuine conversation. There were no formal presentations and no packed agenda, just good food, good company and the opportunity to reconnect, exchange perspectives and build new relationships in a relaxed setting.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the team at Lantern for taking such good care of our guests.
Institutions rarely lack content. What they lack is unstructured time with the people working on the same problem. That is what the evening was for.

No presentations, no panel, no pitch. The guest list was kept small so that conversations could go somewhere.
