Program

This program is built with health care and life sciences professionals in mind.  Our core programming will take place on April 10-13, with a welcome reception the night of April 9.  On April 10, we will be participating in the annual meeting of Bay Helix, a Bay Area Council member organization and the preeminent professional association of Chinese and Chinese American life science leaders worldwide.  The balance of the program – April 11-13 – will be spent in private meetings with government, business and academic leaders in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta region.  We will also utilize “downtime” during meals to invite participation of experienced expats and local businessmen to provide candid feedback on challenging issues such as hiring, protecting IP, building a brand, and brokering new relationships in the public and private sectors.
