“There will be an eight-table fighting arena where ping pong gladiators will go head-to-head for their company’s bragging rights to be crowned Ping Pong Fight Club Champions.

“There will also be a unique mix of DJs, pop-up and speed networking ping pong bars, street food, fight-off challenges, ping pong robots, social zones and Tsingtao’s famous Beer Pong Championships.

“Face painters will be drawing company logos, battle scars and butterflies and with the ‘Chancers Championships’ giving first round losers another chance at glory – everyone is involved until the very last ball hit!”
