Connect with New People
The International Newcomers' Network (INN) meets monthly
to provide an opportunity for foreigners to obtain information
about living in Beijing and to meet new friends. Topics and speakers
change, however information about schools, medical facilities,
culture clubs, and charitable organizations is available at every
meeting.
Due to the expected impracticalities surrounding this summer's Olympic Games, there will
be no INN meetings in July and August and no Big Brekkie in August.
INN meetings are open to all foreign passport holders living
in Beijing. Meetings are held on the last Monday of each month
(except December) from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
INN meetings are held at (click map for
