Improving China Business Strategy

China Business Symposium 2013 - Improving China Business Strategy

Date: Tuesday 30 July, 2013

Venue: Te Papa, Wellington

Registration: Wellington China Business Symposium 2013

A unique opportunity to hear from two distinguished China business experts visiting Wellington, Associate Professor Yuhuang Zheng (Tsinghua University, Beijing) and Patrick Chovanec (Managing Director and Chief Strategist at Silvercrest Asset Management, New York) following their keynote presence at the National China Business Symposium in Auckland. Both speakers are highly experienced in teaching executive training programmes and providing consulting advice for high-profile firms in China and the US. Professor Zheng and Mr Chovenec, supported by Wellington-based China business experts, will update you on the latest academic research and in-market insights about marketing in China and attracting investment from China.

The symposium is a joint initiative of Victoria University of Wellington (Victoria Business School), Wellington City Council, and New Zealand Contemporary China Research Centre. The half-day event will be a great opportunity for firms and organisations from the Greater Wellington region and lower North Island who are engaging with China, and are interested in Wellington's experience in the China market. This event will offer Wellington's perspective on business with China, and will suit those who may not be able to attend the 25 July Auckland Symposium. The Panel sessions feature Wellington-based China experts including Tony Alexander (Chief Economist, BNZ), John McKinnon (Executive Director, Asia New Zealand, former New Zealand Ambassador to China), Vallen Han (Asia Marketing Director, New Zealand Post), Rhys Griffiths (Velvet Marketing Manager, Deer Industry New Zealand), and Ian Douglas (founder of The Village Goldsmith, and co-founder of The Inspired Collection), among others.
