EY Strategic Growth Forum

EY Strategic Growth Forum
Please register today to join us for the first-ever EY Strategic Growth Forum™ in China at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel, East Shanghai, from 22 – 23 May 2014.

The Forum is part of a global series of events held by EY to connect global companies, entrepreneurs, high-growth companies, investors and government leaders to share and discuss strategies for growth, both in China and in other international markets. Attendance is by invitation-only and all sessions will be held in both English and Chinese (Mandarin).

You will hear what it takes to grow successfully — from the market leaders themselves. And you will have the chance to interact with those who have real experience in maximizing opportunities and overcoming challenges to drive growth in China and other markets across the world. Opportunities to meet prospective business partners are available throughout the Forum, in plenary sessions, smaller breakout panel sessions, at social events and in one-to-one meetings — either informally coordinated or formally scheduled in advance of the Forum.

We have an exciting and inspirational lineup of speakers including:

Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Julia Gillard, Former Prime Minister of Australia
Yang Lan, Chairperson, Sun Media Group and Sun Culture Foundation
Jiang Jianqing, Chairman, ICBC
