“You can’t understand outsourcing without understanding China. We’ve designed The 2004 China Outsourcing Summit as the essential starting point in that journey.” Michael F. Corbett, Conference Co-Chairman, President & CEO, Michael F. Corbett & Associates, Ltd.
The 2004 China Outsourcing Summit blended the best elements of Western- and Chinese-style conferences to deliver a unique learning and networking opportunity. Western and Chinese speakers shared the platform to provide their individual insights and perspectives. All sessions were simultaneously translated and the number of delegates speaking both languages helped ensure an effective two-way flow of information throughout. Sub-conferences in IT and software development, Human Resources, Finance & Accounting, and Manufacturing – were covered as well as the central government’s programs to advance outsourcing allowing participants to explore in detail the areas of unique interest to them. The Summit’s exhibition hall provided an excellent opportunity for making and expanding business relationships between companies from around the world.
