April 03, 2008 - Insight Circle has collaborated with China Children and Teenagers’ Fund to launch the first “Insight Circle 2008: CHINA” global business conference. This event is held in four major cities: (1) Hong Kong / Shenzhen, (2) Shanghai, (3) Chengdu, and (4) Beijing from May 10 to June 6, 2008. Insight Circle is the only business tour that takes global executives to four economic zones (north, south, east, west).
Executives will experience 5000+ years of Chinese history, culture and business philosophy -- how to do business by building “guanxi” (relationship) with successful entrepreneurs and political leaders in China. Twenty-four (24) different ministries and departments will send government officials to attend and speak at Insight Circle global business conference over a 4-week period.
First week in Shenzhen (May10-16): Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Information, Ministry of Communication, Ministry of Science & Technology, State of Intellectual Property Office, and National Development & Reform Commission. Second week in Shanghai (May17-23): Environment Department, Ministry of Finance, General Administration of Customs, Ministry of Commerce, State Administration of Taxation, and People's Bank of China.
Third week in Chengdu (May24-May30): Ministry of Health, State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Agriculture, State of Food & Drugs Administration, and National Population and Family Planning Commission. Fourth week in Beijing (May31-Jun06): Energy Department, Ministry of Mining, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labor.
Dr. Vivian Lee (aka: Dr. Vi – value & integrity), managing director of conference services says, “Our event is very different from many other trade missions, trade shows or cultural tours. We position our global business conference and golf tour as an all inclusive high-end, stress free, business cultural tour.
Global executives will get access to many intimate social, cultural and business events to network and connect. It is not a trade mission that you just go and visit three cities and five companies on a bus ride in a day. It is not a trade show where you just drop your business card and forget another person’s face. It is not a cultural tour you just eat, drink, have fun and go away. Insight Circle 2008 – CHINA provides both local Chinese CEOs and global executives with unique opportunities to build solid long-term business relationship.
We hope to deliver the true meaning of “guanxi” in Chinese philosophy – building your circle of influences for long-term business success”. Her partner Vivian Chen, managing director of travel services says, “There is a cultural gap between east and west on how to do business in China, but very often no one knows what the gap is, or better yet how to bridge this gap. At Insight Circle, we hope to dissect this gap into different social, cultural and economic aspects by industry and market. We want to help executives to learn and grow with positive impacts. By integrating global issues such as: high-tech communication, environment, sustainable living, health care, climate change and energy crisis, we hope to help executives to make best decisions everyday”.
The weekly event format always starts with a social dinner on Saturday, a networking reception on a Sunday, a 3-day global business conference with keynote speaker and 50+ educational sessions from Monday to Wednesday, a 12-hour cultural tour on Thursday, and then a golf tournament and a fund raising gala dinner on Friday. This event format repeats itself in each city. Executives can choose to go one week, two weeks, three weeks or all four weeks.
The all inclusive package rate is US$16,888 per person per week; it includes 7-night hotel accommodation at the most exquisite Shangri-la hotels and resorts, an executive pass to all social networking and business events, cultural tours, golfing and gala dinner, plus all meals, entertainment, and local transportation with taxes and tips included. Insight Circle is giving away FREE round trip airfares to the first 100 executives who sign up for the weekly tour in each city: Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing.
