Simon Kong

What I do best is work with people.  

I work with people to translate their ideas and aspirations into reality.

I facilitate people’s goals to communicate, express and present their work.  I do this successfully by identifying what matters the most to people that I work for and caring about it.

Today I work in events, I design events, and I enable events by means of technology.  I am a geek. I deliver results by understanding complex technological systems, the way they work, they way they interconnect.

I understand how to get the best results out of the Technology and the people that operate it.

Am I; a producer, an engineer, a designer, an artist, a dj, a vj, a cut copy fusionist, an experimentalist, a social media buzz freak, a photo blogger, a communicator, a multimedia alchemist, a visionary or a Technical Director?  

What I do know is that I have spent my life and career at the fusion point between ideas and reality.  Its here that I truly excel, it is here that I have the most fun, its here that I work.

I value honesty & integrity.  I've got good Fung Shui.
