The Hong Kong Festival (New Zealand) is an annual flagship event hosted by the Hong Kong New Zealand Business Association in Auckland and Wellington, to celebrate the arts, culture and opportunities Hong Kong has to offer. On the 5th birthday of the festival, the HKNZBA is hosting a business seminar to highlight the important bridge between the social culture and business, as the Association’s September event. Mr Simon Young will be speaking on how New Zealand exporters can take on the challenge of reaching a Chinese audience that is highly engaged with digital and online channels.
