The Chinese games industry is kind of a big deal these days, so it’s no wonder hundreds of thousands of consumers and industry experts are all flocking to Chinajoy on July 27th to 30th 2017.
It’s an enormous event complete with a games exhibition, the China Game Developer Conference, World Mobile Game Conference and even a Cosplay Carnival.
Party on
So once you’re through with the hustle and bustle of the day, you might want to take what energy you have left and relax at a good ole party. Maybe even have a drink or two. Then before you know it it’s 3am, you’ve been dancing for two hours, there’s a tiger in the bathroom and you’ve got to be up early for an 8am breakfast meeting.
Rinse and repeat.
So to help you safely navigate ChinaJoy and Shanghai, we’ve put together a handy party and networking guide.
