NextStep - June 5th @ Café Transat

Featured Guest : Ted T. Lee - T Plus Capital Ltd.

Two weeks have come and gone and NextStep Tuesday is just around the corner. We have decided to shake things up this week and offer a new venue to take in the warm Shanghai nights at Cafe Transat, a block away from Xin Tian Di. As usual we will be offering drink specials, excellent conversations, and a great featured guest. Joining us this week at NextStep will be Phil E. Branham of the President B&L Group Inc. The combination of his rich business experience in China and former Chairmanship of the American Chamber of Commerce give Mr. Branham a rich insight to the Chinese marketplace that he wishes to share with you. We will see you out on Tuesday, June the 5th, from 8 to 10 pm, for another great evening of discussion and potential business collaboration. Come mingle with our featured guests as well as many other aspiring entrepreneurs at Cafe Transat's beautiful outdoor terrace. Please see the attached flyer for more details.

SmartShanghai.com Editorial Review


"The open design of Cafe Transat is utterly convincing: an inviting terrace smoothly joined to a bright dining room. Neighboring businesses will have to pull their socks up if they want to stay in competition for by-passers. Service is well-trained, swift and friendly - surprisingly good for a new joint. Nomen est omen: Food is basically a hodge-podge of international classics - basically everything from everywhere."
