What people say
“I've been joining Zack's meetups consistently since 2023, but my connection goes way back. In fact, I first met Zack in 2018 at one of these events. Since then, I've connected and even collaborated with over 100 ecommerce minds — like Howard, Chris, David and more. This is one of the best gatherings in Shenzhen. It's the only place where you can see so many like-minded foreigners and amazon sellers at once. It's easily one of the most valuable things I do in Shenzhen. If you join once you will join always.”
“I've been coming to the Shenzhen meetups since the first one, and I wouldn't miss any of them. Zack really built something cool. So many good friends and business connections have come from it. Great value every time and if it's not professional value, it's just catching up with great marketers and having a good time, always worth it.”
“Without a doubt, this is the premier meetup in Shenzhen for e-commerce and marketing professionals, regardless of whether you speak English or Chinese. Every time I attend, I connect with incredible new people, and I always find myself staying late because the conversations are just that engaging!”
“The Shenzhen cross-border e-commerce / marketing meetups organized by Zack Franklin are a great way to connect with online sellers, service providers, and platforms alike. I have made fantastic connections every time and the free t-shirts are great.”
“Best meet up I've gone to in SZ! Met so many cool people making cool things. Definitely go check it out if you're in SZ!”
“Always crashing Zack's marketing meetup in Shenzhen — no clue what I am doing, but wow! Wild energy, insane ideas. Networked with everyone, left with 50 WeChat requests, 10/10 would smile through it again.”
