Hong Kong Network

As we kick off 2016 with our annual Chinese New Year Dim Sum Lunch in Hong Kong, we reflect on the year just gone, which was a very special one as we celebrated ten years of IWIRC in Hong Kong. We organised 11 events during the year with over 600 people in cumulative attendance and below are some of the highlights.

In honour of our 10 year anniversary, on 12 June 2015 the Hong Kong network organised a black tie dinner at the China Club, with 127 guests in attendance. Tables were hosted by a number of firms in the industry and two of the founding members of IWIRC in Hong Kong, Jacqueline Walsh and Aruni Weerasekera, addressed the gathering with memories of IWIRC's inception in HK and reflections on its growth over the past 10 years. A special thank you to IWIRC International for its support for this event.
