Trescon

What Trescon does

Trescon is a global business events and consulting firm headquartered in Bengaluru, India, founded in 2016 and now listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange as Trescon Ltd. The company produces B2B events — summits, conferences, exhibitions, and bespoke programs — across six operating divisions: Signature Events, Managed Events, Bespoke Events, Demand Solutions (Demandify), Startup Challenges, and Industry Dialogues. Trescon has executed 500+ events in 120+ countries, drawing 250,000+ attendees and facilitating 1 million+ business connections, with 250+ employees distributed across seven global offices in India, the UAE, Qatar, and Mauritius.

Core proprietary event brands include the World AI Show (40+ editions), HODL — the rebranded successor to World Blockchain Summit (30+ editions), the Dubai FinTech Summit (operated under DIFC patronage), the Dubai AI Festival, DATE, and the newer CARE sustainability platform. Recent launches include the London FinTech Summit (2025), Finance 2045 (Indonesia, 2026), and the Future Factory Show (smart manufacturing, 2026). The underlying operating stack centers on an event management platform and the Demandify B2B demand-generation service; no proprietary AI/ML product layer is publicly documented.

Revenue is generated through event management services, sponsorship packages, delegate registrations, and performance-driven demand-generation contracts. The customer base comprises enterprise C-suites (Standard Chartered, TCS, Visa, Ripple, Polygon Labs, Algorand, Geidea, Pay10), government and quasi-government entities (DIFC, Karnataka state government, Indonesian ministries), financial institutions, technology companies, and startups across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. The company's go-to-market relies on long-cycle government and enterprise relationships, recurring flagship event editions, and partnership-anchored regional expansion.
