If you are in South China in early December and if you have an interest in sourcing-related issues, you should consider attending this conference organized by the European Chamber of Commerce:

Profitable Sourcing – How to survive in a more expensive China

Here is the general outline of the conference:

In recent years, most procurement professionals were looking for alternatives to China, in anticipation for very fast cost increases. Their level of success has varied in function of their industry and their sourcing model. Following the Chinese economic slowdown, the weakness of domestic consumption, and the RMB devaluation, experts are revising their predictions. Many buying offices might still work primarily with Chinese suppliers in years to come.

What trends to expect in the upcoming year?

What strategies and industries have a bright future in China?

What types of market positioning will lead to certain failure? 

 Join us to learn from experts about the best sourcing practices and share your opinion with other professionals during our Forum.

The Chamber will be adding the profiles of speakers and panelists (total about 5) soon. You can already register by clicking here.

The date is 3 December in the afternoon.

I hope to see you there!
