The European Chamber of Commerce and BOSS Lady are delighted to host a women's power breakfast on 8th March 2018. Join us and celebrate International Women's day, exchange your views on leadership and thriving in a male dominated field and enjoy an open discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. 

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China was founded in 2000 by 51 member companies that shared a goal of establishing a common voice for the various business sectors of the European Union and European businesses operating in China. It is a members-driven, non-profit, fee-based organisation with a core structure of 25 Working Groups and 7 Forarepresenting European business in China.

BOSS LADY is a conduit for helping women to achieve their goals, and to meet other ‘kickass’ women along the way. It’s about building a community of support and opportunity where people can tap into each other’s expertise and experience. They host monthly breakfasts where a high profile guest speaker shares their insights with the group on a specific topic in a relaxed atmosphere.
