SMEs Going Global with AI: Blueprint for Marketing, Secure Transactions, and Platform Selection In the new wave of digital transformation, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face numerous challenges when expanding into overseas markets — from complex documentation and cross-border payment risks to effectively leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance marketing performance. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for successful international expansion. This seminar brings together a panel of expert speakers — including AI marketing consultants, Tradelink representatives, and leaders in cross-border payment and e-signature solutions — to provide an in-depth analysis of the real-world challenges SMEs face when “going global,” along with the latest practical solutions. The seminar will feature two keynote speeches and two panel discussions, exploring how SMEs can use AI tools to create precise marketing strategies and adopt one-stop digital solutions that cover customs documentation, financing services, and e-signature workflows — all designed to help businesses seize global opportunities in 2026. Date: May 20, 2026 Time: 15:00 – 16:30 Venue: Room S421, 4/F, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre Language: Cantonese / Mandarin Format: Physical / Livestream Key Topics: ‧ Emerging AI – Driven marketing trends for H2 2026 ‧ Leveraging AI toolkits for SME overseas expansion ‧ Navigating pain points and unlocking opportunities in global expansion ‧ One-click automation for customs clearance and document management ‧ Optimising Strategies for cross-border payments and financing ‧ Risk prevention in e-signatures and identity verification Register for Now: https://hktdc.zoom.us/webinar/register/8417766658458/WN_hDY9NETgRQCV5LP6R7qdRA#/registration

Come for another casual gathering and chat with peers in the software & technology community. Bring your smile and relax with a refreshing drink. **Concept** 🍻 It works simple: 1. feel free to arrive and leave at any time during the event 2. get yourself a drink at the bar or convenience store 3. say hi to someone in the group and chat away. **How to find us?** 👀 Bart/Stephen usually wear something that is easy to spot in a crowd. Often it's a bright coloured t-shirt or something orange themed. Have a look at past photos of meetups to recognise him. Moreover, we usually stand close to the bar. **Venue** 📍 **The Beer Bay** is an **outdoor kiosk/bar**, situated at the walkway between the Central Ferry Piers, at the ground level **entrance of Central Ferry Pier #4** (to Lamma Island). There's plenty of space to stand, and various places to get drinks. Usually lots of people in conversation, and an overall casual and relaxed atmosphere. In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline! **Toilets** 🚻 There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby. **Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤 The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too. There are also non-alcoholic options from other stands and convenience stores around as well. See you on Friday May 22!

### 💡 为什么你应该关注内链？ 很多站长在大费周章地做外链、写内容，却忽略了网站内部的“交通网络”。**内链（Internal Links）** 是 SEO 中成本最低、见效最快，却也最容易被忽视的环节。一个混乱的内链结构不仅会让访客迷路，更会让搜索引擎蜘蛛（Crawler）在你的网站中“撞墙”。 本次 Meetup，我们将聚焦 **WordPress 平台**，手把手教你如何搭建一套既符合用户体验，又能让权重（Link Juice）高效流动的内链系统。 *** ### 📝 分享要点 在本次交流中，我们将深入探讨以下核心内容： * **内链的底层逻辑：** 为什么内链能提升关键词排名？权重是如何在页面间传递的？ * **WP 结构实战：** 目录页、标签页（Tags）与正文内链的黄金比例。 * **自动化 vs 手动补全：** 什么时候该用插件？什么时候必须手动布局？ * **孤岛页面（Orphan Pages）排查：** 如何找出并拯救那些没被抓取的死角页面。 * **锚文本（Anchor Text）策略：** 如何避免过度优化，同时精准覆盖目标语义。 *** ### 🎯 谁适合参加？ * **WP 站长/博主：** 感觉网站收录慢、排名进入瓶颈期的朋友。 * **内容运营人员：** 希望通过文章关联提高页面停留时间和转化率。 * **SEO 从业者：** 想要系统梳理 WordPress 站内优化逻辑的同行。 *** ### ⏰ 活动流程 1. **开场分享：** SEO 小平主题演讲（内链结构核心模型）。 2. **实战演示：** 现场拆解 1-2 个 WordPress 案例。 3. **Q&A 环节：** 针对你自己的网站问题现场提问。 4. **自由交流：** 与同城 SEOer 交换资源与心得。

Welcome back to Codeaholics in May! This time we have brought 2 interesting talks. Talk 1: **Introduction to the Ash Framework, Why I like it: efficiency in delivery** Speaker: Angy Lemaire Three years ago I stopped enjoying coding. Elixir and Ash reignited that joy because they make delivery faster, more predictable, and more confident. This talk walks through **4 delivery efficiency levers** built into Ash: centralized resources, resource-backed forms, explicit policies, and native multitenancy. Each lever reduces complexity, eliminates duplication, and moves feature work from glue code to business logic. Talk 2: **TrustedServer: Building the Zero-Trace VPN Infrastructure** Speaker: Marco A. Gutierrez, ExpressVPN Traditional VPN servers, relying on hard drives, inherently risk retaining sensitive user data, leaving it vulnerable to seizure, unauthorized access, or the persistent installation of malicious backdoors. This session introduces **TrustedServer Technology**, a fundamental shift in VPN server architecture designed to eliminate these vulnerabilities and establish a new standard for user privacy. Honourable Mention: **Rustacean Meetup Group** for helping us faciliate!

Hi guys, I write a free newsletter about AI, tech, entrepreneurship, and Hong Kong called *Better Read Paul* ([Paul Muller | Substack](https://substack.com/@paulmuller)). While working on it, talking to founders, and seeing how people actually use AI day to day, I kept noticing the same thing: there’s a lot of excitement about AI, but very little practical guidance. At the same time, AI has become a big part of my own daily work. I use it constantly to move faster, think more clearly, and save time. And that’s what pushed me to organize these workshops. The idea is simple: very little theory, and as much hands-on practice as possible. This is not a class where you listen to me talk for two hours, but rather a big conversation where I’ll show you how to use these tools (Claude Code, Nano Banana, ChatGPT, etc.), what you can do with them, and how you can apply them to your own workflow depending on what you do. We will cover: * How to use Claude Code to build a WordPress website and a simple program to learn a language * How to use Claude to rewrite a LinkedIn post or any other social media content * How to use Nano Banana to create a marketing canvas for any brand AI can be incredibly useful, but there are a few things people don’t always tell you. Many tools are paid. The results don’t always live up to expectations. Some tools crash, go down, or need maintenance right when you need them most. And many of them magically produce perfect output without effort. So in the end, the real questions are: what actually slows you down every day at work? Can an AI tool help with that? Is the quality good enough? And is it worth paying for, given the time you save? That’s why I want to run these AI workshops, to help people understand how these tools really work, and to give them the space to experiment and apply AI to their own workflows in a practical and realistic way. Paul
