Developer Party in Shanghai

What good is a training seminar in Shanghai if you don't throw a party for our attendees?! So we did! We had the entire third floor of Malone's American Cafe (a.k.a. "Bar") in Shanghai. They laid out a great buffet for us, and all the beer you could drink!

To the right is a picture of Areil from Winking Entertainment, by the sign leading our attendees up the stairs for our party. Below is a picture of Jeremiah and I, several of the Winking employees, and the head of SoftImage China. A great big THANK YOU to our partners and co-sponsors of the seminar and the party, Winking, SoftImage, and ScaleForm!

In the back of that photo, below, wearing the white shirt and standing just behind Jeremiah, is Gary Chang, CEO of Winking Entertainment. I had the opportunity to sit in this Shanghai bar chatting business, industry trends, company performance, and our overall partnership for 30 minutes with Gary. Gary is a GREAT guy, and Winking is a great partner. I very much valued this time together with Gary, and I still contend that the best business is done in Asia in bars (and that's a lot coming from me, someone who doesn't even drink!).
