The gathering Guan Shimeng spoke of was an official event organized by the Douyu Platform, inviting popular hosts who had over one hundred thousand followers.
Such offline gatherings were not uncommon, and the invited hosts generally were keen to participate.
Firstly, it was an affirmation from Douyu officials of their popularity, and secondly, mingling with other popular hosts at the gathering was beneficial for their future career prospects, not to mention the advantages of networking with Douyu's top executives.
Additionally, the gathering also involved the participants of the Douyu Network Spring Festival Gala, an opportunity that could massively boost one's popularity; almost every top host was eager to squeeze their way in.
The event was scheduled for this weekend, and since Douyu's headquarters were in Jinling, the venue was conveniently set in Jinling City.
