As U.S.-China relations continue to be defined by competition and rivalry, the CBCRT’s inaugural conference will bring together young intellectuals and professionals from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States to engage in interdisciplinary, bilingual, and cross-cultural dialogue on business, law, technology, and society. The setting will be the Venetian Ballroom in Macao, which itself is a unique historical blend of East and West cultures. Meanwhile, the event will take place just four days before the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in nearby Shenzhen, which will provide the ideal discussion point for guests and attendees concerning the latest developments in U.S.-China relations. Up to two hours will also be allocated to networking with panelists, attendees, and special guests.

Free registration, up to 50 registrants permitted, with a waitlist if necessary. Drinks and snacks on site. Dinner with the panelists will follow the conference hosted by the CBCRT. Confirmed list of panelists will be released in the weeks before the event; tentative list is below.. Limited quantity of Shenzhen/HK ferry tickets available for reimbursement. Dinner with speakers will follow (max 15 participants).
