Founder Conferences & Entrepreneur Meetups

What types of events does Dynamite Circle host?
Dynamite Circle events include multi-day conferences (DCBKK, DCMEX), retreats (DCX), local Juntos (curated roundtables typically held every third Thursday), casual meetups, and DC Adventures (group travel experiences). Events range from intimate 10-person gatherings to 400+ attendee conferences.

What’s the difference between DCMEX, DCBKK, DCX, and DC BLACK?
Each event type has a distinct format. DCBKK (Bangkok, October) is our largest annual conference with ~400 attendees over 4 days. DCMEX (Mexico, May) is our second flagship with ~250 attendees over 3 days. DCX events are smaller curated retreats in unique cities (Gold Coast, London, Taipei, Miami, even Antarctica). DC BLACK gatherings are invitation-only for established founders (Lisbon, Taipei, Barcelona, NYC). DC Adventures combine business discussions with adventure activities. Juntos are curated small-group roundtables held monthly in chapter cities, and local meetups are free, casual member-organized gatherings in 100+ cities.

DC events are open to current Dynamite Circle members. Applying takes just a few minutes, and most applicants hear back within 24 hours. Once accepted, you can attend any event worldwide. Apply to join DC.

How often does DC host events?
Dynamite Circle hosts events year-round. The two flagship conferences — DCMEX in May and DCBKK in October — anchor the calendar. In between, members gather at curated DCX retreats, DC Adventures (group travel experiences), DC BLACK invitation-only gatherings (Lisbon, Taipei, Barcelona, NYC), and free monthly local meetups in 100+ cities worldwide. Since 2011, the DC has gathered in over 100 cities across every continent except Antarctica — though we did once host DCx Antarctica.

What’s the schedule at DCBKK and DCMEX?
Our flagship conferences run on a multi-day rhythm. Monday–Thursday: member-led meetups (small group dinners, walks, workshops). Friday: in-person Masterminds — structured peer-advice sessions in groups of ~8. Saturday–Sunday: speakers, workshops, and parties. DCMEX runs 3 days with ~250 attendees in Mexico each May. DCBKK runs 4 days with ~400 attendees in Bangkok each October.

What is DCBKK?
DCBKK is the Dynamite Circle’s flagship annual conference, held every October in Bangkok, Thailand. It brings together ~400 location-independent founders for 4 days of masterminds, workshops, keynote talks, city tours, and parties. DCBKK has run since 2012 — 13+ years of community gatherings — and is the event most members say they look forward to all year. Learn more about DCBKK.

What is DCMEX?
DCMEX is the Dynamite Circle’s second flagship annual conference, held every May in Mexico. It gathers ~250 founders for 3 days of masterminds, talks, and connection — a smaller, more intimate counterpart to DCBKK. DCMEX is one of the two occasions each year where the broader DC community comes together in person to learn from each other.

Where are DC events held?
DC events are held in cities across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and beyond. Popular event cities include Bangkok, Mexico City, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Chiang Mai — wherever the DC community is most active.

How much do DC events cost?
