Annual Mixer
On November 24, 2017, the IWIRC Hong Kong Network hosted the popular Annual Mixer at Honi Honi Tiki Cocktail Lounge. It was great to see so many familiar faces joining together to toast another bumper year for IWIRC Hong Kong Network. The venue boasted the vibe with the classic Polynesian elements for mingling and networking over drinks and canapés. The Annual Mixer continues to be a favorite for Members and Friends alike. Thank you to Grant Thornton, Linklaters, and Walkers for sponsoring yet another great event of the IWIRC Hong Kong Network.
