Good morning.
I am Chris Brown (the sustainability event organiser, not R&B has-been) - and I designed and launched ReThink HK to be the city's most ambitious business event for sustainable development.

Amazing to see large scale events back on in HK with @artbasel and @artcentralhk – as a career-long event organiser and now running my own events business it has been heartbreaking to see the stories from friends, ex-colleagues and industry contacts on how hard the expo industry has been hit. But live events are crucial to economic recovery, showcasing innovation and connecting people. I'm not a big art fan, but I am a HUGE David Shrigley fan and it was brilliant to see some of his work in HK last weekend. You can see I'm a fan!
