Attention Hong Kong Web Community!

Categories: Events, Global WebPosted on August 24th, 2007

I’m coming out to Hong Kong for the week of Sept 16th -21st to speak at at the CLSA (CLSA is an award-winning brokerage, investment banking and private equity group in the Asia-Pacific Markets.) conference.

Are you a tech, marketing, or web fanatic that blogs? I’m hoping to connect with you, by organizing a blogger dinner, where we can all meet up. I’m interested in learning about you, your web projects, and or companies, and will doing blogging and video sharing with all my friends in Silicon Valley and beyond. I recently went to Singapore, and did the same, and built some great relationships.

If you’re a tech blogger and want to help me organize a meetup, please leave a comment. Last time, an organization decided to sponsor the drinks and dinner in Singapore. I organized another blogger dinner in Portland, and Jive Software and Intel hosted with their food, in their office and provided drinks.

Who else do I want to meet? If there are any governmental bodies that encourage web companies from the US to expand to HK, I’d love to meet them also. Just yesterday, I had a meeting with Singpaore’s iDA group.

If you’re interested, sign up on the wiki below, or email this post to friends. Oh, and if you want to learn more about me and my Chinese American background, it’s wrote some of the history on July 4th.

Here’s the guest list so far

Great stuff. I’ve signed up on the wiki too.

I run a monthly industry event called, “Web Wednesday”, that now counts 140 or so members interested in all things internet.

I haven’t checked but am sure that some of the members are fellow bloggers. The event is supported by a blog - http://www.webwednesday.hk - and an active group on Facebook (http://tinyurl.com/2xjh88).

Our next event is this Webnesday and is held at the Bohemian Lounge, 3-5 Old Baily St, Central. Click here for more on FB - http://tinyurl.com/3cp6×8.

If you’re interested and could coordinate your trip with the last Wednesday of September (26th) we could make you the guest of honour?

I also suggest you contact the people at the Asia Digital Marketing Assoc (http://www.asiadma.com/) if you want to tap into their database.
