The company's original product was The Asian Banker Journal, a quarterly publication of 40 pages that was launched in January 1997.

Throughout 1997 and 1998, it provided on-the-ground coverage of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, anchored by Daniel's journalistic skills and award-winning articles—Daniel won the prestigious Citibank Excellence in Journalism Award for the Asian region in February 1999 for his work in determining the impact of the Internet on banking.

Subsequent summits have been held in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta and Hanoi, Beijing and Singapore.
