Shanghai Business Dinner

Shanghai is China's core city for finance, fashion, returnees and business socializing. Dinners target finance, consulting, internet, brand, returnees and founders — people who need high-quality in-person social connections. Jing'an (West Nanjing Road, Jing'an Temple), Xuhui (Hengshan Road, Xujiahui) and Huangpu (Bund, Xintiandi) are the core dinner districts, with abundant upscale restaurant options. Shanghai's large returnee and foreign enterprise population drives strong demand for singles and curated dinners.

Business dinners are suited for light exchange around industry, resources, collaboration and city opportunities.

• Jing'an, Xuhui and Huangpu are Shanghai's core dinner districts — the Bund, Xintiandi and Hengshan Road have abundant upscale restaurant options.
• Shanghai's large returnee and foreign enterprise population drives strong demand for singles and curated dinners, with student dinners also in high demand.
• The finance and startup scene is active — business and founder dinners are a priority, suited for VC, PE, consulting and internet professionals.

• In your profile, state your industry, role and shareable resources. Avoid overstating your company stage.
• Prepare a brief self-introduction and two discussion questions.
• Do not fully disclose commercially sensitive information at a first dinner. Follow up formally for any collaboration.
