We cap off a busy year 2000 with the 7th Annual Business Summit, titled "Hong Kong: The Hub of Asia," on Dec. 13 and our second China Business Conference on Dec. 14. Speakers and sponsors are committing gradually to both these conferences, which expect to draw up to 300 each from Hong Kong, the Mainland and Taiwan ?X since the conferences will be held concurrently with the 11th Hong Kong-Taipei Economic Cooperation Committee meeting.All of the above are in addition to the many other roundtables and seminars and luncheons the Chamber runs.
