In an increasingly uncertain and complex global environment, the relationship between the world’s two largest economies is prompting more attention and discussion than ever. One indisputable trend is that cross-border activity is at record-high across all segments - public, private and individual. In the city where East meets West, the 2015 Woo Conference will draw upon today’s leading thinkers and influential business minds to provide a platform for intellectual exchange, idea generation and networking. The conference will examine the economic ties, growth strategies and investment opportunities across key sectors and explore the future of the U.S. – China relationship. Business leaders and cross-border investors will review, examine and debate the trends, strategies and opportunities as well as the challenges, issues and dynamics presented by transforming cross-border business and investment between the world’s two superpowers.
