AmCham Shanghai invites you to join our SME seminar series about The Future of Success. The event will be held on June 12 from 14:00-16:00 at the AmCham Shanghai Trade and Investment Center. This seminar is aimed at providing practical perspectives on ways to company success.


In 2018 China created a unicorn - a business valued at or over US$1 billion - every 3.8 days. China accounted for 38.9 percent of global unicorns while US holds 42.1 percent. The last decade has been amazing with China's domestic market flush with cash. However, is the tide turning? Warren Buffet once mentioned "Only when the tides goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked". How to maintain the momentum becomes quintessential to the discussion.


What is the secret to success? Can success be learnt and replicated or is talent the x-factor? During this session, guest speaker from theDesk will share his rollercoaster experience of failures, set backs (and minor triumphs), personal startup tips, the relevance of innovation, and the future of success. theDesk is a company committed to the value of co-work. For decades, it connects entrepreneurs with corporations, problems with solutions, one good idea with another. The team actively participates in local community and aims to build up a working environment that empowers everyone.


This event will address success and engage the audience with different types of growth models, pivoting, preparing for failure, and why timing is everything.
