As the year draws to a close, and as Hong Kong moves through an incredibly difficult moment with fires affecting families and communities across the city, we invite you to join us for an evening of inspiration, reflection, and solidarity.

This is not just another end-of-year gathering. It is an opportunity to pause, connect, and find strength in community during a time when many are feeling unsettled and uncertain.

We are honoured to welcome Mark Pollock: an explorer, speaker, and researcher whose story of courage, resilience, and collaboration has inspired audiences around the world.

Mark will share his powerful keynote, “Sometimes the Challenge Chooses You,” a message that arrives at a moment when our city is facing fear, disruption, and emotional strain. His reflections remind us that while challenges may not always be of our choosing, how we respond—together—defines our resilience.

It is a time to come together, to draw strength from shared humanity, and to leave with renewed perspective for what lies ahead.

This inspirational evening will be hosted by Nellie Chan, Board Chair, The Marketing Society Hong Kong.
