SXSW @ M1NT Shanghai. February 28 at 9:00 pm.
What a great excuse for a party!
On February 28, from 9 pm until 11:30 pm at M1NT Shanghai The Chinese Business Network and Symbio will be putting on "an official pre-SXSW cocktail...to highlight China's tech sector presence at SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, TX in March."
This year at SXSW, beginning at 2pm on March 16th (in Room 8.... what a lucky number!) there will be a China panel entitled, "International Business in China for Fun and Profit." I will be on that panel, along with the following:
* Christine Lu - Founder, The China Business Network
* Andrew Lih - Author, Wikipedia Revolution
* Sage Brennan - Co-Founder, Mobile Monday Shanghai
Unfortunately, I will be the only panelist not at the event, as I previously committed to a China trip in late March.
The party is limited to the first 150 who sign up. Go here to sign up and for further information.
For only 200 RMB, you will be able to partake of the following:
* An opportunity to connect and network with key influencers, tech entrepreneurs and investors in China's tech sector.

Be there or be square.
Comments
SXSW at M1NT is looking to have an interesting mix of attendees. The business and entrepreneur community is beginning to grow more cohesive in Shanghai. Events like this, and others that I organized have gone a long way to create a more dynamic community over the past two years.
