Networking Organization For Asian Business Opportunities ORIENTED.COM
Announces Search For New Owner
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Asian professional and social network is well-known for its
global offline networking events and mass mingling platform
ORIENTED.COM, a global networking organization of international
professionals interested in Asian business opportunities and partnerships,
announced today that it is actively seeking a new owner. Best known for its
offline networking events, ORIENTED enjoys strong brand recognition across
the Asia Pacific region and other major urban areas around the world due to
its unique service offering and longevity in multiple markets.
The company's signature service is its ORIENTED Happy Hours, real-life
offline networking events that are simultaneously coordinated on the last
Thursday of every month in Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Sydney, London, and in cities across the United States, including New York,
San Francisco, and Portland. Since 2002, ORIENTED has organized more than 800
events in 18 cities worldwide.
ORIENTED consistently attracts bilingual, bicultural, Western-trained
professionals who are upwardly mobile, highly educated, and technologically
savvy. ORIENTED members also travel frequently and have high disposable
incomes. They are a demographic that is in great demand by companies
expanding across the Pacific in both directions, but are notoriously hard to
reach.
ORIENTED's high-quality networking events demonstrate mass mingling in
action by bridging online communities with real-world relationship building
and interaction. Face-to-face networking is at the heart of the Asian
business culture, and the ORIENTED Happy Hours provide its members with an
effective opportunity to build their personal connections (or 'guanxi') on a
consistent and worldwide basis.
"I am very excited about the limitless possibilities that a new owner
will bring to ORIENTED and its members," said Founder Christine Hsu. "Armed
with a powerful brand, a domain name with strong commercial value, a thriving
community of upwardly-mobile professionals, and a decade of goodwill,
ORIENTED is poised to become a dominant global brand."
