About this Event
"Better Understanding Better Business"
Please join us at the premier event for California and Chinese companies to create new business opportunities!
The China-California Business Forum is a signature event under the China Provinces and U.S. California Joint Working Group On Trade and Investment Cooperation. The event itself was founded to promote and highlight California's trade and investment with Chinese provinces and to encourage entrepreneurs to explore business opportunities. Over the years, the forum has drawn in over 3,100 attendees.
Each year, the Forum features keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. This year’s forum is joined by a Chinese delegation consisting of 150+ top business leaders and trade officials from dozens of provinces. Hainan will be the Guest Province of Honor.
This event is hosted by the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Los Angeles, co-hosted by Bay Area Council, World Trade Center Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. The forum's supporter is the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products.
