Here's a blog post from Wei Wang, international relations manager:

Among the many networking opportunities at the ASTD 2009 International Conference, the Dragon Night Dinner facilitated networking among conference participants from Asia and other countries and regions. The 2009 gathering was the third annual Dragon Night Dinner.

On May 31, after an exciting first day at the conference, we gathered at one of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. This year, we had the most diverse group by far. The guests came from 8 countries, including Australia, UK, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan, mainland China, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia. We enjoyed great Chinese food and networking.

The highlight of the night was the game "rock, paper, scissors". Although we all came from different cultures, that game was known to all! Ronald Hu from Taiwan won the final prize - complimentary access to the ASTD International Learning and Performance Virtual Conference. Pictured below is Ms. Lauren Forgacs, Director of International Relations, presenting the gift certificate to the happy winner.
