The Hong Kong Tatler Tribe convened for the first time in 2019 to kick off deliberations for this year’s Generation T List.


The Tribe is the expert panel we assemble every year to help Generation T formulate the strongest possible list of young leaders. Made up of industry titans across a breadth of fields, and featuring new faces each year, The Tribe nominates candidates for consideration and vets our longlist to help Gen.T identify the most deserving honourees. The 15-strong panel in Hong Kong joins over 100 Tribe members across Asia, who come together to lend expertise in their region.


In Hong Kong, The Tribe kickoff event was held at Aulis, the new "development kitchen" from acclaimed British chef Simon Rogan. The Michelin-rated chef prepared a multi-course tasting menu for The Tribe members in front of their eyes in his intimate 12-seater space, which is adjacent to the soon-to-open venue Roganics. Both spots are the chef’s first overseas restaurants.
