Last year’s Echelon was great, you can see posts here:

This was the first opportunity I had to meet up with startups from around the region, and it has been valuable for me in understanding what the market is like in others Asian countries. They had great speakers from all over the world.
If you are a web or mobile company, consider either attending the conference or applying for the Launchpad.
