China Live Commerce Immersion

About the programme
We conducted a 3 day programme in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China, with more than 20 participants from across Southeast Asia, more than 10 company visits and sharing sessions, and (some bottles of) Baijiu.
In addition, 12 guests specifically flew in from Hangzhou or Shanghai just to be with us, sharing their experiences in AI / MCN & KOL management / brand building, and discussing collaboration opportunities with the participants from Southeast Asia.
A big thank you to everyone who made this experience memorable and useful.
