HONG KONG<\/span>, Feb. 5, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Finoverse<\/b>, the architects behind the region’s largest financial technology events, today announced the launch of Genesis Festival<\/b>, taking place on March 25\u201326, 2026<\/b> at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club<\/b>. Recognizing a massive intergenerational transfer of capital occurring across Asia, the festival marks a strategic pivot for the company\u2014moving away from large-scale trade shows to launch a capped, 500-person private ecosystem dedicated to the “NextGen” leaders managing this shift.<\/p>\n

This launch aligns with the Hong Kong Government’s intensified commitment to the family office sector, offering a modern alternative to traditional industry summits. Operating under the Chatham House Rule<\/b>, Genesis Festival serves as a sanctuary for principals navigating identity, governance, and future technologies like AI and tokenisation.<\/p>\n

The “Samantha” Experience: AI-Engineered Serendipity
<\/b>Central to the festival is the debut of Samantha<\/b>, the world’s first “AI Community Host” developed in-house by Finoverse. Unlike generic event apps, Samantha is an agentic AI that lives on WhatsApp<\/b>, requiring no downloads or logins.<\/p>\n

Samantha acts as a digital thread connecting “Legacy to Tomorrow.” By engaging attendees in a quick 5-minute onboarding chat to learn their specific investment mandates and philanthropic goals, she orchestrates precision-engineered introductions.<\/p>\n

“We believe that by 2030, AI will handle most business transactions,” said Vila Wong<\/b>, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Finoverse. “When that happens, the human’s only job is to build trust. Samantha is the link.”<\/p>\n

Wong added: “You spend too much time just trying to find the right person to connect with. We built Samantha to fix that. She replaces the struggle with precise, high-intent matching so that every conversation actually matters.”<\/p>\n

The launch represents a major evolution for founders Anthony Sar<\/b> and Vila Wong<\/b>. After spending a decade scaling Hong Kong FinTech Week into a global juggernaut with 45,000 attendees, the duo is now dismantling the “bigger is better” model to focus on high-trust curation.<\/p>\n

“We are treating Genesis as an ecosystem for the future of connection,” said Anthony Sar<\/b>, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Finoverse. “We deployed Samantha because high-stakes networking requires a level of discretion and curation that human agents simply cannot scale. By integrating her into the Genesis Festival, we can offer the warmth of a private gathering with the precision of a world-class intelligence tool.”<\/p>\n
