Where Flexpats meet
The podcast is the front door. The community is the engine: more than ten events a year, an active WeChat group, and peer introductions drawn from the podcast's guest network.
From our events
Real evenings, real conversations — Flexpat community events across China. Click a photo to enlarge.

WeChat for daily life, LinkedIn for reach
The community lives where China already is: in WeChat. Questions get answered in hours, openings are shared before they are advertised, and event invitations go out there first. LinkedIn carries the podcast and events to the wider network.
