Shanghai

Expat mixer at Dr Beer

The focus is on expats from the United States and Canada but all nationalities are welcome for InterNations' first big bash of 2014. This networking event is being held at a trendy spot in the former French Concession and could prove worth the money for newbies looking to enlarge their social circle or improve their job prospects. Tickets cost 150 yuan and include pizza slices and grilled sausages, among other snacks, plus two drinks. Those lucky enough to get a private table can enjoy their own beer taps, at regular cost.

6:30-11 pm, March 12. Dr Beer, 83 Fumin Lu (Road), near Yanan Lu (Road).
