Nǐ hǎo, world! 🌏
We’re thrilled to invite you to the 10th BYU China Conference, happening next week! 🎉
👉 Register today (lunch included!)
https://kennedy.byu.edu/ASIAN-STUDIES/CHINA-CONFERENCE-2026
This year’s conference is bigger and better — but also shorter and more convenient! We’ve streamlined it into a half-day experience, ending with a fantastic buffet networking lunch so you can connect without giving up your whole Saturday.
✨ What to expect:
🎤 Keynote Speakers
• Sean Stein, President of the U.S.–China Business Council and former U.S. Consul General in Shanghai and Shenyang
• Eric Hyer, BYU’s premier sinologist and expert on Chinese politics
🎙️ Featured Speakers
• Brent Christensen, former Director of the American Institute in Taiwan
• Warren Clark, business executive with extensive China experience
• Trent Peterson, AI entrepreneur, fluent Mandarin speaker, and former China-based executive
• Peter Chan, founding faculty advisor of the conference
🌟 New This Year: Student Spotlight
For the first time, we’re featuring a student presentation by Alex Keogh, one of BYU’s most recognized students in China (including appearances on Chinese national television!). Recently admitted to doctoral programs at Peking University and Oxford, Alex will share scholarship and career opportunities connected to China.
🎬 Free Documentary Screening
We’ll also screen a compelling documentary about Helen Foster Snow, a Utah woman who played a remarkable role during the founding years of the People’s Republic of China.
Whether you’re interested in business, diplomacy, technology, education, or global opportunities, this conference is a unique platform to learn, connect, and build bridges across the Pacific.
Come for the insights.
Stay for the lunch.
Leave with connections.
See you there! 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇳
