March Kiwi Drinks

In celebrating the coming of International Women's Day 2025 in true Kiwi festivity, the New Zealand Business Roundtable in China (NZBRiC), in partnership with Kea, was delighted to host our first Kiwi Drinks of the year last week. This came after the International Women’s Day Panel event hosted by Kea earlier in the day, which established a meaningful tone and fascinating conversations for the evening.

Set against the charming Mediterranean villa backdrop of Cotton’s in the historic French Concession, the evening had something for everyone to enjoy. Guests delighted in handcrafted New Zealand Peddlers Gin cocktails, premium New Zealand meats from Rata Food, and an array of valuable raffle prizes generously contributed by our members. Such prizes included luxury wines and gin, premium healthcare products, dairy goods, gift vouchers, and a cozy plush throw – perfect for the incoming winter. 

With such authentic Kiwi offerings, the night truly felt like a slice of New Zealand in Shanghai. To top off the evening’s success, we were thrilled to raise a significant amount for our chosen CSR partner, Shanghai Sunrise.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to make Kiwi Drinks such a lively networking event in the new year. We look forward to sharing what’s in store for next month—see you there!

Kiwi Drinks is our monthly networking event, held on the second Friday of each month. If you’re new to Shanghai, stay tuned to find out where the next Kiwi Drinks will be, or reach out to our team via LinkedIn or Kea's Regional Director for China, Rebecca BAO.
