Executive Rountables (MCBR)

WHAT Taking place frequently in cities where we have chapters, this is a periodic gathering (somewhat like a “group counseling” session) for business decision-makers to discuss all issues related to doing business with or in China. We believe these meetings will not only help them continue to network and expand their contacts, but also allow them to compare notes, share tips and learn from each other's lessons and experience, thereby enabling them to be better informed, prepared and "equipped" in their China pursuits. Please click links to the left for information on upcoming and past meetings. Click here if you'd like to be included in the mailing list for this meeting. The agenda is usually as follows: Sign-in and networking with refreshments: first 30-45 minutes Feature presentation (if any): 15-20 minutes Attendee introduction & roundtable discussion: 60-90 minutes Conclusion and more networking (finger food will be served): 30 minutes WHEN & WHERE It may vary from city to city. Currently we hold roundtables in Boston and Worcester, MA, Hartford, CT, Chicago, Illinois, New York, NY, Princeton, NJ, and Philadelphia, PA. To view the specific info for an upcoming one in a particular city, just search for it in the left bar (city name followed by its year, month and date. For example, BOS20050420 would mean the roundtable held on April 20, 2005 in Boston) and click on it. PRICING & SIGNUP Please click on the roundtable in the left bar that you'd like to attend and follow the instructions there to sign up. BETTER NETWORKING Attendee profiles can be viewed online, both prior to and after each roundtable, at an exclusive, password-protected area by Members (who can view profiles for any and all roundtables), and by Single-roundtable Participants (i.e., those who are pre-paid registrants or paid attendees to a particular roundtable - they will only be able to view profiles for the roundtable they will or have attended). Most attendees have found this extremely valuable in helping them network at the event and followup afterwards. So make sure you take full advantage of it. To facilitate networking, we will include all profiles submitted by the deadline (12 pm on Tuesday) in a handout to be given out to every attendee at the meeting. Please email us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
