Hong Kong

The IWIRC Hong Kong Network's 2017 events calendar kicked off with its annual Chinese New Year Dim Sum Lunch at the trendy Dragon-i restaurant on January 17. The event was a huge success! Over 60 IWIRC Hong Kong members and friends came together to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a delicious all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch and networking. This was the perfect event to mark the beginning of 2017 in Hong Kong and to welcome in the Year of the Rooster! A special thank you to the event sponsors, ONC Lawyers and Shinewing Specialist Advisory Services Limited, for their generous support.

The Hong Kong Network is busy planning a series of exciting events for 2017 - stay tuned for updates!
