More networking! A bit short notice, but a pleasure indeed, John Biggs from Techcrunch is back in Chin (for Techcrunch Shanghai event) and then coming down to the south to do informal meetups in Hong Kong and Shenzhen to meet the local startup and gadget community!
Jeff Broer is helping to organize in Hong Kong, and I will help out a bit in Shenzhen – we did this 2 years ago when John came down after Techcrunch Disrupt in Beijing, and it was a ton of fun! We had a nice outdoor seating area and got to go around the room introducing each other, and John was overwhelmed with awesome products and startups that came out.
So John is doing it again! Glad that he is paying some attention to us in the South China region – here’s his post http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/17/lets-meet-in-hong-kong-and-shenzhen/. Its a quick post, and below is the full information.
