carlo Posted August 13, 2009 at 05:05 AM Report Posted August 13, 2009 at 05:05 AM Does anybody know of a "business club" or society for MBA students, professionals etc in Beijing? What I'm thinking of is a sort of a study group where people meet regularly to discuss hot topics or business cases, exchange views on the economic environment, discuss ideas, listen to guest speakers, network and so on. In English and Chinese. I'm sure there must be many, I just cannot think of any right now (apart from Chambers of Commerce, but I'm thinking something more informal). Anybody has had any experiences, good or bad? Quote

carlo Posted August 13, 2009 at 04:25 PM Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 at 04:25 PM Thanks, yes, kind of. What about starting our own here on Chinese forums? (Here, another great idea that will never happen). Quote

Xiwang Posted August 13, 2009 at 10:57 PM Report Posted August 13, 2009 at 10:57 PM There are All University Alumni Networking Mixers held every few months or so. As noted on the Wharton page linked above, the last one was last week: http://www.whartonbeijing.com/events_info.php?auto_id=113 There's an email address on that page in case you want to be added to the list for future announcements. I attended one of these and was impressed by the good mix of young Chinese nationals who had attended schools in the United States and expats. If you attended a larger school, there might already be an alumni society branch in Beijing. If not, you can always start one. Quote
agimcomas Posted August 22, 2010 at 08:08 PM Report Posted August 22, 2010 at 08:08 PM Hello! I'm interested in this type of club too. I have opened a web forum for small business entrepreneurs in China. The address is www.chinaentrepreneur.info. I hope to have new members soon! Cheers! B) Quote
