Thanks Julie. Indeed, for those interested in organizational change and innovation the conference and location should provide an ideal opportunity.
Zhongguancun is considered China's silicon valley and is just outside of Beijing. Given the China govt initiative on innovation the location is particularly relevant.
Additionally there will be a trade fair that overlaps with the second day of our conference and there are expected to be 30,000 attendees. So in addition to our invited speakers and academic presenters there will be ample networking opportunities with business leaders just next door. Kind regards, Matt
