Cocktail & Convo
Shaoxing Creative Park · Shaoxing
The event that started it all — an evening of cocktails, conversations, and connections. Foreigners and locals came together for a night of open introductions, storytelling, and community building. The first official Sofa Lounge event set the tone for everything that followed.
Career & Culture Experience
Sofa Lounge HQ · Shaoxing
A full-day experience blending career development and cultural exchange. Attendees took part in workshops on navigating the Chinese job market, personal branding, and cross-cultural communication — all led by creatives and professionals living the experience.
LinkedIn × Beehive Creative Exchange

Sofa Lounge was invited to take part in this LinkedIn × Beehive Creative Exchange — an evening of networking, portfolio sharing, and cross-cultural creative exchange bringing together international creatives, local professionals, and entrepreneurs.
Paint, Sip & Launch of Sofa Lounge
Sofa Lounge HQ · Shaoxing
The official public launch of Sofa Lounge as a platform — marked with a Paint & Sip evening that brought the community together. Guests painted, sipped, laughed, and celebrated the beginning of something bigger. A night that perfectly captured what Sofa Lounge is all about.
Building Your Career Identity as a Student in China
Mingshi Residence – Integrated Service Complex (名士之家·综合服务体) · Shaoxing
Navigating your career as an international student in China comes with a unique set of challenges — and a unique set of opportunities. This session brings together students, recent graduates, and working professionals for an honest conversation about building a career identity that works here: how to position yourself, who to connect with, and how to turn your international experience into a real advantage. Expect practical takeaways, open discussion, and the chance to meet people who get it.
