Attendees of this one-day conference attended panels on crypto-currency, leadership and forum shopping, followed by an afternoon of cultural activities. Veronica and Natalie opted to go on the Tram Tour, where guests experienced the joy of riding a tram (from the 1920s!) and taking in Hong Kong’s sights and sounds.

Veronica (vice-chair of the Hong Kong Chapter of IWIRC) said, “The IWIRC Asia Restructuring & Insolvency Conference recently held in Hong Kong on 8 November 2018 was another success. Guests from around the world truly enjoyed the cosy networking on the famous ‘ding ding’ tram tour, seeing the sights of Hong Kong over a few glasses of bubbles.”
