DIMSUM X AUGUST: Highlights & What's Ahead

DIMSUMX NEWSLETTER

RECAP OF JULY

July was a standout month for DIMSUMX, with two AMAZING events that left a lasting impression.

7/20 - DIMSUM X The Future of Marketing Analytics @ Chef Tony:
We gathered a table full of data and digital marketing professionals to dive deep into #GA4 and event-based analytics. Over delicious dim sum, we discussed how these shifts are reshaping our work in digital marketing, data analysis, and strategy. The turnout was fantastic, with business analytics students, data analysts, strategists, account directors, analytics managers, data scientists, and software engineers all contributing to the conversation. The energy and insights shared were truly inspiring. Click here to learn more about who attended the event.

7/26 - DIMSUM X Play & Connect @ Chef Tony:

This event was a significant milestone as we reached full capacity with 20 attendees, but what truly made it extraordinary were the attendees—the masterminds from Beyond Connections—and the inspiring presence of our guest speaker, Portia Tung. This day held special meaning as it marked the graduation of the BC masterminds from the program, and we gathered to celebrate our hard work, growth, and achievements together. Portia's Play Alchemist magic brought a unique and transformative energy to the gathering. Who could have imagined that a simple game of "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" would break down barriers and fill the room with pure joy? Portia’s wisdom on playful leadership served as a powerful reminder of the essential role play can have in our professional lives—a lesson that left a lasting impression on all of us. The energy, connections, and profound sense of belonging we experienced that day were truly unforgettable, thanks to her.

We were honored to receive media coverage in World Journal, US China Press, and Phoenix New Media. This is just the beginning of our journey together, and we’re filled with hope for what’s to come.

Thoughts & Reflections:

We've hosted 11 DIMSUMX events so far, and each one has been a learning experience. I’m deeply grateful to every one of you who has been part of this journey. I couldn’t have done it without your support! ❤️

But I also want to share the less glamorous side of this journey. There have been times when I dropped the ball—whether it was not sending out the newsletter on time, missing an Instagram post, or not filling a full table of guests. These moments can feel like failures, but they are also part of the process.

This morning, I had a meaningful phone call with my father in China. He shared some wisdom that I want to pass on to all of you: “I’m proud of you, but don’t forget to balance your dreams with taking care of yourself. Don’t stress too much if things don’t go as planned.” His words really struck a chord with me, and I want to encourage all of us to take this to heart—let’s not let stress overwhelm us as we pursue our goals. He also reminded me of a Chinese saying: “有心栽花花不开，无心插柳柳成荫,” which means, "When you intentionally plant flowers, they do not bloom; but when you unintentionally plant willows, they grow into a lush shade." This beautifully captures the essence of why I founded DIMSUMX—to celebrate the natural, spontaneous connections that often bloom into something truly meaningful. So let’s all take a step back, breathe, and remember to give ourselves grace as we navigate life’s journey. Sometimes, the most beautiful things happen when we’re not forcing them.

P.S. Since my birthday is in the first week of August, I secretly treated the DIMSUMX event on 7/26 as an early birthday celebration with all the amazing masterminds and attendees. Thank you all for making it such an unforgettable experience! Grateful for you all! 🎉

P.P.S. If you can’t make it to any of the events, no worries. I would really appreciate it if you could share this email with anyone who might find it interesting to attend. As we build the community, your support means a lot to us! We couldn’t have done it without all of you! 🙏
