iQIYI Scream Night has grown into a key industry barometer since its launch. Now in its 11th year, the ceremony highlights the year's standout productions and talent, connecting creators directly with their audience.
This year, the event expanded with a two-day "iQIYI Scream Carnival" at the Galaxy International Convention Center Forecourt Area. The festival featured live performances and showcases, offering fans an interactive and immersive experience alongside the main ceremony.

iQIYI Scream Night 2025 Spotlights Creative Excellence and Industry Momentum
BENGALURU, India, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Exito's presence in ASEAN isn't an overnight story. It's the result of fifteen years spent building one of the most reliable, productive, and commercially impactful event ecosystems in the B2B technology space.
Since its inception, Exito has delivered more than 1,000 events across 25+ countries, connecting over 200,000 attendees and linking technology vendors, enterprises, and government leaders in ways that move markets. This long-standing global experience is exactly what laid the foundation for Exito's accelerated success across ASEAN in the past five years.
And here's the thing: the region's digital transformation wave isn't slowing down. Enterprises are modernising faster, governments are driving strong digital-first mandates, and vendors are competing to capture the next big cycle of demand across AI, cybersecurity, cloud, automation, fintech, DevOps, and enterprise IT. In this surge, Exito has become the trusted neutral ground where serious conversations turn into partnerships, pilots, and real commercial outcomes.
A Five-Year ASEAN Story Fueled by Momentum
Over the past half-decade, Exito has delivered 100+ high-impact exhibitions, conferences, and trade shows across ASEAN, shaping the region's B2B tech ecosystem with remarkable consistency. Across Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Bangkok, and Hanoi, Exito's platforms have emerged as the meeting point for senior IT leaders, digital strategists, regulators, and global technology providers.
The impact has been direct and measurable:
- Vendors have accelerated regional entry and expanded their pipelines.
- Enterprises have found faster access to credible solution partners.
- Government bodies have used Exito platforms to push national digital blueprints and innovation agendas.
This isn't about event volume. It's about market creation.
2025: A Breakout Year That Proved the Model
2025 set a new benchmark for Exito in ASEAN. Packed auditoriums, exponential B2B meeting numbers, and a record count of returning sponsors reinforced one thing:
The region sees Exito as a high-trust, outcomes-driven partner.
From Manila and Bangkok to Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur, the response validated the model, curated events, clear buyer–vendor alignment, senior-level participation, and content formats that reflect real market needs.
2026 now builds on this momentum at a larger, sharper scale.
