An inside look at the unforgettable evening when we unveiled this year's Generation T list: a launch party of epic proportions held at the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur's Sapphire Ballroom.

Selecting 50 outstanding names for the Generation T List 2018 is serious business. While it may be our third year putting together this annual list, the same level of attention that went into the past two successful editions has gone into the process this year. The 2018 Generation T cohort was selected in consultation with these 12 esteemed individuals, who hail from diverse industries shaping the future of Singapore. And it is with no exaggeration when we say that the Tatler Tribe is a crucial part of this process, and selecting the right 2016 and 2017 Gen.T lister and industry leaders who make up this tribe lays the foundation for a strong list every year. After all, if you want to find out who makes up the new wave of leaders, innovators, disrupters and dealmakers, who better to ask than the people who have travelled down the same path themselves? (Related: What Is Generation T?) We are honoured that the members of the Tatler Tribe this year have accepted our call, and spent valuable time pondering worthy nominations and engaging in the shortlisting process with us. Many of these accomplished individuals were also happy to share how they got to where they are today, providing words of wisdom to the 2018 Gen.T cohort.
