Although we all compete for space in the same distributors and retailers. But we are all still humans who need contacts. What is better than to have a chat with somebody from the same industry over a beer at one of the bars in Tsim Sha Tsui? Go there in October or January, how many hands are you going to shake or people you are going to nod to. I wanted to bottle that feeling and be able to open the bottle once per month is great so I created a networking event called Toy Thursday in Hong Kong. We meet once per month over dinner to network and chat about the industry. I am aware that since I started this, one person has changed job within the network so it is not only customers and products we talk about. I feel that some real friendships are being developed.
