NZGBA Canton Fair Phase 2 Networking Drinks

Meet Kiwis and friends of New Zealand

The New Zealand Greater Bay Area Network (NZGBA) invites Kiwis, Kiwi eCommerce sellers, Kiwi importers and friends of New Zealand to join us for an informal evening of drinks, conversation and networking in Guangzhou.

Whether you're visiting China for the Canton Fair, sourcing products, running an eCommerce business or living and working in the Greater Bay Area, this is a chance to meet fellow New Zealanders, exchange experiences and make new connections.

We're getting together at ATOC Bar, a Kiwi-owned bar operated by fellow New Zealander Tait Dalrymple, in the heart of Guangzhou's Zhujiang New Town.

There's no formal programme, just an opportunity to catch up, meet new people and enjoy a relaxed evening with the New Zealand community. And as a bonus, ATOC's happy hour runs until 10 pm!

A taste of New Zealand?

We're also hoping to arrange some Kiwi pies for the evening. If we receive enough RSVPs, we'll organise a batch to be made.

If you've been missing a good Kiwi pie while in China, here's another reason to come along!

RSVP

Attendance is free, but please RSVP in advance. Use the RSVP button to open the registration form, or scan the QR code on the event poster. This helps us estimate numbers, plan the evening and determine whether we can arrange the pies.

You don't need to be an NZGBA member to attend. Whether you're a long-time resident, visiting the Canton Fair or simply have a connection to New Zealand, you're welcome.

We look forward to seeing you in Guangzhou!
