From 14 to 17 October 2026, eSign.AI is exhibiting alongside Cyberport at SIBS 2026, the tenth edition of the Selangor International Business Summit, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The team is at Hall 4, Booth 4106, showing how digital signing and AI contract management fit into the way Malaysian and ASEAN enterprises close agreements.

Why Kuala Lumpur, and why now

Malaysia runs a dual-track signature regime. The Electronic Commerce Act 2006 gives electronic signatures legal recognition for most commercial transactions, while the Digital Signature Act 1997 governs CA-backed digital signatures and attaches stronger legal presumptions to them. The two tracks mean the same organisation can be perfectly compliant on a supplier agreement and still need a different signature method for a regulated filing.

That split is exactly where cross-border teams lose time. A contract signed under one track in Kuala Lumpur, countersigned from Singapore and stored in a third jurisdiction has to survive three sets of expectations at once: signature validity, identity evidence, and personal-data handling under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010. SIBS is where those questions get asked in person.

What the team is showing at Booth 4106

The booth focuses on the two halves of a completed agreement. The first is the signature itself: identity verification before signing, tamper-evident sealing, and an audit trail that stands up when a counterparty later disputes who signed what and when. The second is what happens around the signature: clause review, obligation tracking and the contract data that AI contract management pulls out so a signed document becomes a managed record rather than a PDF in a shared drive.

eSign.AI's trust services are used by organisations in more than 100 countries and regions. In Hong Kong, the company was the first e-signature SaaS provider to connect to iAM Smart, the SAR government's digital identity platform, and it integrates with Corporate Digital Identity (CorpID) for corporate signers. The booth shows what that same identity-first model looks like for Malaysian buyers, including integrations with local identity and CA infrastructure.

The compliance question buyers bring to the booth

Most conversations start with a version of one question: when does a signature need to be CA-backed? The practical answer depends on the document, not on the industry. Ordinary commercial agreements generally travel on the ECA track. Documents with statutory form requirements, and filings that a regulator or a counterparty will scrutinise, typically need the stronger DSA track, where digital signatures are issued under certificates from CAs licensed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.

The second half of the answer is evidence. A signature that is legally valid but poorly evidenced still loses arguments. Retention periods, consent records under the PDPA, and the ability to reproduce the exact signing event years later are part of the design, not an afterthought. The team is walking visitors through how that evidence is captured and exported.

Where to find eSign.AI

eSign.AI is at Hall 4, Booth 4106, for all four days of the exhibition, 14-17 October 2026. SIBS 2025 drew 740 booths from 89 countries, and the tenth edition runs across seven event components under one roof at KLCC. Visitors who want to compare signature approaches before the show can start with our breakdown of Malaysia's ECA, DSA and PDPA framework.
