I will take part in several conferences in October and November. I listed them below.
China Sourcing Fairs (Global Sources)
Topic: The 5 Biggest Challenges in Importing from China and How to Manage Them
Dates and times: October 19 (Sunday), 1:00pm – 2:00pm, and October 27 (Monday), 2:30pm – 3:30pm.
Venue: Level 2, AsiaWorld Expo, Hong Kong.
It will take place at the same time as the trade shows organized by Global Sources in Hong Kong.
TPM Asia conference (organized by the Journal of Commerce)
Topic: I will be part of a panel discussion on the topic of sourcing in Asia.
Date and time: October 16
Venue: InterContinental Shenzhen Hotel
We’ll try to respond to questions such as:
- What are the main drivers of sourcing decisions today?
- What countries are benefiting, and which are losing competitiveness?
Profitable Sourcing (European Chamber of Commerce in China)
Topic: Best practices for managing suppliers — To deliver solid performance in a difficult environment, buyers need to improve their existing supplier base. In many cases, it means helping manufacturers stabilize their quality, gain in efficiency, fine-tune their planning and organization, and improve worker safety and morale.
Date and time: November 11 in the afternoon
Venue: Sofitel Hotel Guangzhou (not far from the East train station)
Registration is already open here.
There will probably be 5 speakers. Details will be announced a little later.

I hope to see you in one of these conferences!
And if you start end of December, i will take no 1 month but 3 months with all the trouble of Chinese new year!!!!
Absolutely!
The first sounds really interesting. However, I will not have time to attend. Would be great if you could publish the transcript on this blog afterwards.
I will try to shoot a video but I am not sure it will be good. Another option is to record a screencast and put it on Youtube. Not sure what to do yet.
