# DCBKK

## What is DCBKK?

![](https://globalfromanywhere.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/dcbkk2015.png)

It stands for **Dynamite Circle Bangkok**. Its an annual conference for the DC community, a group of internet business entrepreneurs (digital nomads) – also known as location independent. I’m lucky to have been involved since the beginning (2011) and have watched it grow.

Global From Anywhere was “born” at DCBKK 2013 with Dan Andrews inspiring everyone in the room to start a podcast. He then said someone should do it on Hong Kong business, and that it will become a full time venture within a year.

That was basically true – and here we are! Global From Anywhere tries to attend DCBKK every year. In certain years we have hosted a meetup and sharing session.

Here is an outline of the topics we normally discuss at a GFA DCBKK meetup. We also host a Dcxhongkong event a couple weeks after as well, smaller mastermind style.

Expect to be overloaded with knowledge and connections at the DCBKK event. Get your rest, and try to prepare ahead of the people you want to meet.

Hope to catch you there- Mike and Global From Anywhere plan to attend every year.

See you at DCBKK 2019 – Oct 16 to 20!
