NZ Chinese Association Auckland
Branch are hosting the 2014 Diverse Bananas Global Dragons
conference - on 30 May -1 June 2014 at the University of
Auckland Business School. There are again high calibre
speakers and sessions across varied disciplines of
business, youth, art and culture. We are fortunate to have
Anthony Hoy Fong - talented young restaurateur based in New
York coming back to recount his personal story of learning
to be a top class chef and pushing boundaries in a
competitive profession. We also have Mai Chen - renowned
constitutional law specialist providing the opening key note
address and giving her views on the vital links back to
China and the future vision. Young entrepreneur Deanna Young
recounts her story of opening Moustache - a trendy milk and
cookie bar in Wellesley Street - going against her parents
wishes to follow a 'safe' profession.
There are so many
stories and experiences to be shared -some controversial and
some audacious (visit the website http://www.goingbananas.org.nz/) -but
they all revolve around the principles of being Chinese and
the pride in being a successful Chinese New Zealander here
or abroad. Registrations can be directed to
