The Year of the Snake is here, bringing a surge of energy, transformation, and adaptability—all qualities that resonate with RingCentral’s bold spirit. The theme of RingCentral China’s Annual Parties this year, “Seize to Shine,” is all about embracing every opportunity, rising to new challenges, and shining as one unstoppable team in 2025.

To kick off the year, RingCentral celebrated in style with two spectacular annual parties in Xiamen and Hangzhou. These events perfectly embodied the balance of innovation and tradition, showcasing our vibrant culture and unstoppable energy.=

A Global Connection Across Two Cities

The celebrations in Xiamen and Hangzhou began with heartfelt Chinese New Year messages from our global leaders—Vlad Shmunis, Kira Makagon, John Marlow, Alex Shteyngolts, and others. Their inspiring words reminded us of our shared mission and the strength of our global collaboration.

What made these moments even more special were their efforts to deliver well-spoken Chinese blessings, which resonated deeply with our local teams. Adding to the excitement, Gary Chevsky, Vijay Ganapathy, and Sathesh Murthy joined the festivities in person, with Sathesh surprising everyone with a moving rendition of the Chinese pop song Friends—a touching testament to our global camaraderie.

Xiamen: Live-House Vibes with Modern Flair

On January 15, Xiamen hosted a live-house-inspired party that reflected a bold and modern twist on traditional celebrations. This stylish gathering created a dynamic, casual atmosphere for colleagues to connect, unwind, and celebrate together.

The night was brimming with excitement as talented teams delivered breathtaking performances—from breathtaking singing to dazzling dance acts and a powerful live band. These performances elevated the party to a whole new level, energizing the crowd and highlighting the diverse talents of our people.

Hangzhou: Tradition and Talent Shine Bright

On January 17, Hangzhou hosted a more traditional-style party, set against the scenic canals of the city. But this wasn’t just any traditional gathering—it was filled with surprises, including an unforgettable live band performance by our very own Hangzhou colleagues, who came together specifically for the event. Their incredible performance left everyone in awe, adding a creative and heartfelt touch to the celebration.

The night was further enriched by stunning singing and dynamic dance performances, showcasing the artistry and energy of our talented team members. The blend of tradition and innovation truly made this event a night to remember.

Moments of Gratitude and Joy

Both parties culminated in exciting lucky draws that filled the venues with cheers, as lucky winners took home fabulous prizes. To ensure everyone felt appreciated, every attendee also received thoughtful New Year gifts, spreading joy and gratitude as we welcomed the Year of the Snake together.

Climaxes in Both Parties: Leaders Dance into the Spotlight

The biggest surprise of both celebrations came from the management teams in Xiamen and Hangzhou, who wowed everyone with their spirited dance performances. Their enthusiasm, humor, and creativity lit up the stage, showcasing not only their leadership but also their gratitude for the incredible contributions of their teams. These unforgettable acts left everyone cheering, laughing, and bonding in shared joy.

“Seize to Shine”: Starting 2025 with Innovation and Tradition

The contrast between Xiamen’s stylish live-house vibe and Hangzhou’s traditional elegance mirrors RingCentral’s approach to success: blending cutting-edge innovation with a respect for tradition and strong values.

As we continue to lead in the development of AI-powered solutions and transformative technologies, we remain rooted in collaboration, creativity, and connection—the core values that empower us to thrive together.

Dancing into 2025 Together

The energy and camaraderie from these celebrations serve as the perfect start to a promising Year of the Snake. Our 2025 Annual Parties weren’t just events—they were a reflection of the passion, unity, and innovation that make RingCentral a truly exceptional workplace.

Together, let’s seize every opportunity, rise to every challenge, and shine brighter than ever. Here’s to a transformative and successful 2025!
