Registration will close soon for early bird delegates of the Yangtze Business Network 2009 conference in Shanghai. Held on 15 April, the conference will explore the logistical challenges involved in accessing China’s vast interior. Delegates will hear the experiences of FIEs with established operations in central and western China, and learn about the latest developments of modernising the Yangtze corridor and government initiatives to improve the investment environment. Those registering by 16 February will be entitled to a US$300 discount off the full rate.

On the day following the conference, there is an optional logistical fact-finding trip to Wuhan. More details on both events can be found at http://www.yangtzebusinessservices.com.
