Glam-it! at Web Wednesday Hong Kong (V82)

For our 82nd social mixer, we’re relocating to a smashing new venue, Club 18, Nos. 18-20 Lyndhurst Terrace in Central Hong Kong.  Here's a little tour that I posted to Instagram:



To add to the sparkle of this new nightclub, we’ve invited a multi-talented guest speaker, Jennifer Cheng, Founder and Chief Glam Girl at Glam-it!, to share her experience in building, promoting and selling internet ventures.



After graduating from Brown University, Jennifer started her career as an actress and model in the US. She moved to study an MBA at Hong Kong University of Technology, from where she became a passionate player in the world of internet technology and social media in Hong Kong.

She cut her teeth working with Darizi (大日子) and Rackspace and then leapt into the fast-paced world of online group buying, first with uBuyiBuy (a former guest at Web Wednesday), which via an acquisition became Groupon Hong Kong, and then as Vice President of BeeCrazy (蜂買) which was acquired by iBuy Group before listing on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Jennifer's current venture is Glam-it!, a beauty and fashion brand with the patent pending GlamPact available at Harvey Nichols and 6 countries via Luxola.com.

Jennifer’s expertise in the digital space was recognized and she was awarded the title of Most Promising Entrepreneur at the prestigious Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2011 in Hong Kong and the Woman Super Achiever Award at CMO Asia in 2012.

Doors open at 6:30pm with the interview starting at 7:15pm on Wednesday 26th February, 2014 at Club 18, 18-20 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, Hong Kong.

The entrance fee of HK$100 includes a complimentary drink and the opportunity to meet fellow entrepreneurs, social media types, investors, bloggers and digital media folk.
