SEC Chill-Out Evening @ Wine Arcade – 31 Jan 08

The early birds

SiTF’s SEC Chapter kicks off this year’s chapter events with the first of their monthly networking session on 31 Jan 08. Held at the wine arcade, the event promised great ambience and an informal environment for experience sharing. 25 participants turned up to fill up the interior of the wine bar. By 7pm, the wine bar was packed!

Mr Eddie Chau, SEC Chairman

During the event, Mr Eddie Chau, SEC Chairman, gave a short speech. He wished for a fruitful session for everyone. Attendees get to enjoy top quality wine while having pizzas and finger food for dinner. They were also able to discuss and exchange business ideas over dinner.

What is networking without exchanging name cards?

As a networking event, most of the attendees prepared a whole stack of name cards for exchange. By making new friends and extending their social circle, attendees kept their options open, exploring business opportunities in new untapped markets.

My Vietnam business experience

The monthly network session has a theme. In January, the theme is “entering the Vietnam market”. One of our attendees was invited to speak and share his experience in the Vietnam market. Having vast experience in Vietnam, he also shared how the Vietnam environment is like. No doubt, it would be valuable information for the attendees who are interested to hit into the Vietnam market.

Many attendees left feeling satisfied. After this fruitful session, these participants expressed enthusiasm for the next chill-out evening in February when they will get to hear about a different topic.
