ORIENTED Dialogue & Exchange Series
The ORIENTED Dialogue & Exchange Series was a unique forum held from 2004 to 2006 that allowed young professionals to dialogue with and hear straight-from-the-gut insights from industry experts and senior executives about the hottest market trends and developments affecting them.
Established by Lauren Kwan in 2004, the first Dialogue & Exchange event was held in Shanghai with a spectacular Media Panel that was attended by well over 100 professionals and executives interested in the future of China's media industry.
From the overwhelming response received, the "ORIENTED Dialogue & Exchange Series" was officially launched and were held on the second Wednesdays of the month, in addition to the signature ORIENTED Happy Hours held on the last Thursday of each month.
Although the series was later discontinued, the caliber of participation is worth noting and included speakers such as the chairman of FORTUNE China Magazine, country manager of Walt Disney Internet Group, and general manager of the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai.
Other 2005-2006 D&E Organizers included:
Angie Wu
Damien Blenkinsopp
Jim Leu
Kevin Chen
Kimberly Ashton
Richard Brubaker
Organizers gained valuable experience, visibility, and networking opportunities. From planning D&E events, they had the opportunity to develop their leadership, organizational, and communication skills in a truly multi-cultural and international environment, and to interact with high-profile executives, the media, corporate sponsors, and other participating entities.
