On January 15, 2026, we kicked off the year with our first JAI gathering, hosting a gala dinner in partnership with Pad Thai Padel and the Asia Pacific Padel Tour.

The tables were set right in the middle of the padel court, turning a space usually defined by competition into one made for connection. Ahead of the Asia Pacific Padel Tournament (January 16–18, 2026), we brought our members together to meet new faces, reconnect with familiar ones, and share meaningful conversations over good food.

The night felt relaxed and personal. Guests spent time talking, sharing stories, and enjoying each other’s company, with conversations continuing well beyond the dinner.

For us, the night said a lot about JAI. It was about people coming together easily, without pressure. Starting the year this way, surrounded by curious and open minds, felt right. And even when the dinner ended, the conversations didn’t.
