Make your lunch productive by joining 12-15 motivated young professionals from within the AmCham China community to share resources and best practices for success and career development. Young professionals interested in expanding their network, becoming more involved with AmCham China, and getting to know their peers in the expatriate business community should register for this informal discussion.

This month, the Young Professionals Committee welcomes Mr. Jeffrey Towson, a private equity investor / advisor at Peking University and professor, best-selling author and speaker. His writing and speaking cover how rising Chinese consumers (and companies) are disrupting global markets. According to LinkedIn, he is one of the top three most followed business writers in China (+1.4M followers online) and the #1 followed professor in China. His latest books are The One Hour China Book and The One Hour China Consumer Book, both of which are Amazon best-sellers.

Jeffrey will share his insights on the Chinese economy, advice on leading and managing effectively in China, career development for young professionals, and how foreign firms and individuals can succeed in the current business climate. The session will conclude with the opportunity for guests to ask questions to discuss these and other issues as well as network and get to know other young professionals in the AmCham China community.

Please note that attendee approval is required with preference given to AmCham China members and employees of AmCham China member companies.

A light lunch will be provided.
