"As the world's second largest economy, China is simply too big and too important to ignore," said CCG President Crocker Coulson. "However, horror stories abound of U.S. and multi-national companies that have had assets wrested away by Chinese partners and intellectual property stolen by employees or distributors. As a result, many companies in sectors including technology, life sciences and consumer products have taken a 'go slow' approach to entering the China market. But this carries the risk of ceding the field to more savvy and adept competitors."

The China Market Entry Strategy Summit is to provide CEOs, CFOs, Chief Strategy Officers, Chief Marketing Officers and other senior management with a "User's Guide" to entering the China market so as to minimize business, legal and reputational risks, while accelerating growth, market development, and brand recognition. The summit should also be of significant value to venture and private equity investors, investment bankers, and board members with an interest in the China market with its 1.4 billion consumers and $8.2 trillion in gross domestic product.

The agenda will include expert panels with some of the leading experts on the Chinese economy, accounting, forensic and investigatory research, and corporate governance, and other topics including:

• What are the key elements of an effective marketing, branding, media and social media strategy in China?
• How can companies structure their operations in China so as to comply with limitations on foreign ownership but protect their assets and brands?
• What strategies can be employed to protect against theft of intellectual property?
• What are the secrets to effective acquisitions in China?
• How can enhanced due diligence practices enable you to get to the bottom of the real truth about Chinese companies, management and assets?
• What are the elements of an effective Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) program?
• How can you set up an effective finance & accounting function and tax strategies?
• What advantages and subsidies are available to foreign investors in China?

The preliminary agenda of China Market Entry Strategy Summit is as follows:

"This China Market Entry Strategy Summit will provide investors with a road map as to how U.S. companies move through the process towards China. This panel will provide both institutional and retail investors with insights from leading analysts as to some of the ways that investors can benefit from the very significant rise in China," Coulson said.
