ORIENTED Dialogue & Exchange Series

The Dialogue & Exchange Series is a unique forum that allows 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 today.

Established by Lauren Kwan in 2004, the first Dialogue & Exchange event was held in Shanghai, China, with a spectacular Media Panel that was attended by well over 100 professionals and executives interested in the future of China's media industry.

Other 2005-2006 D&E Organizers included:

Angie Wu
Damien Blenkinsopp
Jim Leu
Kevin Chen
Kimberly Ashton
Richard Brubaker

From the overwhelming response received, the "ORIENTED Dialogue & Exchange Series" was officially launched and are now held on the second Wednesdays of the month in select locations, in addition to our signature monthly happy hours.
