What is Generation T?

Generation T celebrates Hong Kong and Asia's brightest young talents with a comprehensive list of who's who in the region. The annual publication complements our Tatler 500 List of Hong Kong’s most influential individuals, with a focus on the next generation.

The Generation T list is refreshed annually by the Tatler Tribe, a panel made up of Hong Kong Tatler's own editors and select members of our Tatler 500 list.

While every Gen T'er will forever be part of the community, 50 names will graduate to become alumni in order to make way for new up-and-comers.

When will the 2017 Gen T list be announced?

The Generation T list for 2017 will be unveiled in June with an exclusive launch party, so stay tuned.
