Shanghai China Operations Conference 2021

The US-China Business Council (USCBC) is pleased to invite you to its annual China Operations Conference in Shanghai. This conference represents USCBC China Operation’s biggest event of the year and brings together leading experts, academics, executives and policy makers to discuss the most important developments relevant to doing business in China. The program will take place in Shanghai from 9:00am - 2:00pm (China Standard Time) on Tuesday, November 16. 

We had a tremendous turnout last year, with around 100 attendees joining us from a wide range of industries, academic communities, and leading experts, for lively discussion on a wide range of topics relevant to all of us involved in US-China business.

Limited sponsorship opportunities are available.  Sponsors not only receive extended visibility within the community, but also have the opportunity to differentiate yourself, generate new leads, and enhance business, consumer, and VIP relationships.
