13th November, Hangzhou Business Network (HBN) met in Vineyard Cafe last night for their second ‘brick and mortar’ meeting. Founded online with LinkedIn by Niall O’Reilly, this group has become successful with active online participation in discussions and postings of local news and business stories. Currently boasting 300 members, this resource for those living in Hangzhou is impressive. Last night 50 members and their guests turned up. An eclectic mix of professionals, writers, musicians, students, and a few layabouts like myself turned up to eat, drink, meet and ultimately listen do the live gig with Eddy Lewis and Hong Jingjing (洪菁菁).

If you are interested in receiving HBN updates, sign in to LinkedIn and ask for membership – it is invitation only.

Next meet is the Christmas Party.

Thanks to Reuben and Shelley.
