Hello everyone,

This upcoming Tuesday NextStep is heading north of Beijing, well Beijing Lu that is. Join us Tuesday, November 4th from 8 til 10 pm at the newly opened KaiBa at Building 101, 528 Kang Ding Lu, near XiKang Lu.

Set amongst a new crop of bars and restaurants, the Kai Ba was opened by one of our friends Carlo Wolff, a true entrepreneur with his hands dipped in everything from corporate coaching to bars. If you are a fan of unique brews, Kai Ba has over 65 choices of premium beers from around the world that is sure to impress.

It just so happens that NextStep falls on Election Tuesday in the US this year . I am sure the room will be buzzing with a lot of political talk. Hopefully there will be no "hanging chads" in Shanghai.

We will also be announcing some new partnerships and events that will launch as soon as December. For all you aspiring business owners we will be giving you the inroads to potential investors. This is especially great considering the current credit markets and funding dry spell all small and medium business owners are now facing.

Also, please note an event that will be coming up later this month, Tuesday, November 18th hosted by BenCham for young professionals. This will be an evening focused on shaping your professional "journey". You can find out more information by clicking Lien retiré.

Please note that NextStep will officially be changing the admissions policy for all events starting on Tuesday, December 2nd. In order to maintain an audience that shares the same values and networking goals, NextStep will launch the NextStep Annual Membership.

A one-time annual fee of 100 RMB*(for this event only/ *200 RMB thereafter) will be charged upon entry at Tuesday's event. A membership will include a NextStep Blackcard that will entitle the holder free entry to all future NextStep Tuesdays, and the discounted drinks specials that we arrange at all events. Non-members (non-blackcard holders) will have to pay a 50 RMB entry fee at all NextStep Tuesdays and will not be entitled to the discounted bar menu.

After a great event at M1NT where we saw 300+ new and old faces, we look to build on the success and create a Str0ng community for entrepreneurs to build there businesses in 2009 and beyond.

As many of you already know, Lien retiré is the NextStep official sponsor for the months of November and December. If you are looking for a fantastic office in the center of the city, Mind Offices gives you exactly what you want at a price that makes sense for both established and growing businesses.

The trust and experience we have gained over the years puts us in a unique position to advise clients.
