Tech prerequisites: Webcam, microphone, and open mind. For better audio in the group, please use your headset instead of loudspeakers. This event welcomes both expats and locals interested in a global debate.
Life is about learning and sharing, so what's better than learning from fellow internationals? A dedicated host, a clear structure, interactive games and a thought-provoking topic will keep conversations and ideas flowing - and helps you connect to other expats in East Asia with ease.
People with experience abroad, no matter if in China or elsewhere. Every group is different but usually it's an exciting mix of expats and locals with international background. Digital nomads or ex-expats (returnees) are welcome too.
Time is valuable, and events like this should be both fun and educative. Preparation, promotion and execution of this program therefore requires considerable efforts on our side. Tip: For the lowest price, book your spots as early as possible.
Your booking confirmation will be e-mailed immediately after booking. Please also check your spam folder. If it's not in spam either, shoot us an e-mail to team@ixpat.com
Please log into the video chat 5 minutes ahead of the meeting time so you can get involved right from the start. Admitting latecomers into an ongoing session is not always possible.
Not necessarily, it's the International Hour rather than China Hour. Expect to hear stories from all over the world and make interesting contacts beyond Zhōngguó.
