Every F1 season, Singapore becomes a city in motion. The world’s biggest names in business, fashion, technology and culture descend on the island, filling restaurants, hotel lobbies and after-hours gatherings long after the final lap has been run. While the spotlight remains on the circuit, some of the week’s most memorable moments unfold away from it—think fringe activities, networking sessions and of course, an endless slew of after parties. Industries unexpectedly converge too, transforming the race week into one of the year’s most anticipated moments for cultural exchange and connection. To get in on the action, we introduce Off Track: The Craft of Connection at Circolo House Singapore, a destination designed for exactly those moments.
From 8 to 10 October, Circolo House Singapore will unveil an invitation-only programme designed to bring together founders, investors, business leaders, creatives and cultural decision-makers. Set against The Mill’s striking neo-Gothic façade, the venue offers an atmospheric backdrop for a week built around exchange and discovery. The multi-day event at Bukit Merah aims to extend Singapore’s F1 calendar beyond the race itself, transforming the distinctive creative enclave into a multi-day hub of conversations, wellness experiences, hospitality and private dining. Presented in programming and content partnership with Media Publishares, the publisher behind Vogue Singapore, Beyond the Boardroom and Robb Report Singapore, the programme will bring together founders, investors, cultural leaders and decision-makers through more than nine curated activations.
At the heart of the programme are a series of editorial experiences developed by Media Publishares’ titles. In partnership with Beyond the Boardroom, Circolo House will present Beyond Room, a platform for curated conversations exploring the intersections of business, technology, culture, wealth management, luxury and wellness. Through fireside chats, one-on-one interviews and bespoke discussions, the series will bring together leaders and innovators for conversations beyond traditional boardroom settings.
Meanwhile, Vogue Singapore will debut its Beauty & Wellness Lounge, reflecting the growing influence of wellness across the luxury landscape. Building on the momentum of the title’s inaugural wellness event earlier this year, the space is designed to offer guests a moment of pause and recharge amid the pace of F1 week. Programming is expected to include beauty touch-ups, demonstrations and masterclasses, alongside movement and wellbeing experiences, with participating partners to be announced closer to the event. Robb Report Singapore will also host its own lounge as part of the wider programme, while additional activations include private dining experiences, networking sessions and hospitality-led concepts, will be unveiled in the lead-up to race week.
For Bettina von Schlippe, co-founder of Beyond the Boardroom, publisher-at-large of Vogue Singapore and vice president of Business Development and Innovation at Media Publishares, the collaboration represents an opportunity to bring editorial influence into a more immersive setting. “Editorial influence has always been about more than coverage—it’s about creating the conditions where the right conversations can actually happen,” expresses von Schlippe.
With Circolo House Singapore joining the city’s growing calendar of F1 week experiences, Off Track: The Craft of Connection aims to redefine what happens beyond the finish line, where conversations are cultivated, collaborations begin and new ideas take shape. More details on programming, participating partners and experiences will be announced in the coming weeks, so be sure to watch this space as Circolo House Singapore prepares to become one of the race week’s most anticipated new destinations.
