USC 24th Annual Asia/Pacific Business Outlook Conference

On March 28th and 29th, USC will be hosting their 24th annual Asia/Pacific Business Outlook (APBO) Conference, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The Senior Commercial Officers (SCO’s) from American embassies, consulates and institutes in the following economies will participate in APBO 2010: Australia/New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The SCO’s will provide “Country Outlook” seminars, will speak in small-group workshops and will be available for private appointments with APBO participants. Each of them will also be accompanied by an American executive business partner from “their” country. An additional 25 business practitioners and academic experts on Asia complete the APBO “cast.”

For the second year, APBO will feature special sessions on sustainability, as well as broader environmental issues and policies in the Asia/Pacific region. Each Country Outlook session will feature “sustainability business opportunities”— energy and water conservation, renewable energy and clean coal technologies as well as the wider green technology industry. Each of our Country Outlook speakers will discuss new national programs promoting sustainability business opportunities in their respective countries.

APBO conference attendees will gain unparalleled access to Asia business experts. In two days, 50 Asia experts will provide 60 seminars and workshops on fourteen high-growth markets around the Pacific Rim. More than 50 percent of all APBO sessions are dedicated to Q & A, and over 100 hours of private consultation appointments with the experts are reserved for conference participants.
