There is a real feeling globally that China is on the cusp of tremendous change as it continues to grow and it is vital if you are to be successful that you develop and maintain a clear understanding of what is going on. One of the key benefits that we have been able to bring over the 8 years of this conference is that level of understanding, so that people will leave here feeling that they have learned something concrete that will allow them to manage their businesses with an advantage.
