8:30-16:00 China Sports Roundtable: Rapid Development and Emerging Opportunities A powerful sports boom is under way in China, with significant implications for companies looking to build their brands with the country's enormous consumer population.

Separate Registration is required.

To maintain the forward momentum, 15 million new jobs need to be created every year. During the next decade, more than 400 million people will need to move from the countryside to cities.

Featured speakers include Hernando de Soto, Author, The Mystery of Capital; Paolo Zegna, of the Zegna Group; and Zhao Qizheng, Minister, State Council Information Office, among many others.

14.10-15.00 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (I) The Falling Dollar's Global Impact

14.10-15.00 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (II) Perspectives on Doing Business in Asia: Understanding What Works

Views on business and economic development vary from country to country, continent to continent. Formed by different social, educational, and economic environments, the approaches, attitudes, and models that work in the West do not always translate to the East. What do executives hoping to do business in Asia need to know as they navigate this complex, nuanced business arena?

Victor L.L. Chu, Chairman and CEO, First Eastern Investment Group
Andrew N. Liveris, President and CEO, Dow Chemical Company

Moderator:
Thomas D. Gorman, Chairman, CCI Asia-Pacific Ltd.


14.10-15.00 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (III) Corporate Governance

Reform of corporate governance in Asia has been ongoing since the late 1990s. But given the relative newness of the concept to many Asian countries, what does "good governance" really entail? What barriers do Asian culture, ethics, and values raise to implementing the kinds of corporate governance practices that are standard in Europe and the U.S? What rules are likely to be adopted in various Asian markets?

Speakers:
David Eldon, Chairman, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp. Ltd.
Fang Xinghai, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Shanghai Stock Exchange
Jiang Jianqing, Chairman and President, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

Moderator:

14.10-15.00 (IV) Creating a Global Workforce

To succeed globally, multinationals need to be able to manage human resources effectively on a worldwide scale. Various models are being phased in with differing degrees of success. Can and should you try to create a global corporate culture? How does adopting a global approach change the already complicated issues surrounding attraction, retention, and development of high-potential employees? Why do some see a truly global workforce-with senior-level positions open to candidates worldwide-as the ultimate solution?

Speakers:
Diana Farrell, Director, McKinsey Global Institute

(V) CNN Connects: CHINA RISING

Speakers:
Irwin Mark Jacobs, Co-founder and Chairman, Qualcomm, Inc.
Peggy Yu Yu, Co-President, Dangdang

15.15-16.05 GENERAL SESSION
ENERGY: FINDING FUEL FOR CONTINUED ECONOMIC GROWTH

Sustainable development requires a sustainable energy supply. As the world's appetite for energy continues to balloon, driven by the surging consumption of crude oil in China and other industrial nations, readily accessible reserves are drying up. Known untapped resources tend to be located in areas where extraction costs are prohibitive. Is it time to get serious about alternatives? What are the viable alternatives: nuclear, solar, wind, coal? How do countries balance short-term need for energy to drive growth with longer-term effects on the economy and environment? Is regional cooperation on energy a real possibility, given different strategic interests?

Speakers:
Chen Tonghai, Chairman & CEO, Sinopec
Linda Cook, Chief Executive, Shell Gas and Power, and Managing Director, Royal Dutch Petroleum Company
Anne Lauvergeon, Chairman of the Executive Board, Areva

Moderator:
Clay Chandler, Asia Editor, FORTUNE


15.15-16.05 GENERAL SESSION
THE WORLD ECONOMY: WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Not everyone paints a rosy picture about the current world economy and the outlook going forward. In this session, we'll hear three different views on what may be looming beyond the horizon if we don't heed the warning signs. Blackstone Chairman Pete Peterson and Morgan Stanley's chief economist Stephen Roach will share their visions of an inevitable economic meltdown in the U.S. caused by fiscal profligacy and the corrective action needed to avert it. Noted business consultant C.K. Prahalad will look at the underclass in India and China as a cause for concern and make a case for how companies doing business in those countries can fight poverty with profitability. Renowned Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto will analyze why capitalism has failed to translate to other parts of the world and talk about what actions governments need to take to enable impoverished citizens to turn their work and savings into productive capital.

Speakers:
Cheng Siwei, Vice Chairman, NPC Standing Committee of the People¡¯s Republic of China   
Hernando de Soto, Author, The Mystery of Capital:

Whether it's gaming, banking, or bill paying, position tracking or appliance control, the services and infrastructure available in the region are creating a truly wireless society.

9:50-10:35 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: MORE TURMOIL OR MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING?

Patent, trademark, and copyright infringement issues have long clouded the global business horizon, leading some companies to scrap plans for global expansion rather than put their intellectual property rights in jeopardy. How serious and widespread is the problem? What steps are Asian countries taking to protect intellectual property rights?

10:50-11:40 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (II) Booming Economies and Commodities

One of the by-products of Asia¡¯s economic boom has been a huge spike in the demand for commodities. Prices have reached unprecedented levels and show no signs of moderating.

11:55-12:45 GENERAL SESSION
WILL ASIA BECOME THE FOCAL POINT OF TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION?
For the past few decades, the U.S. has been the dominant force in technology. But with globalization and the rise of Asian economies, the center of technology innovation is beginning to shift. Engineers and programmers are emerging from Asian schools in record numbers. While they once looked to the U.S. for opportunity, they are now finding it at home. Multinationals are increasingly locating R&D and development facilities in the region, and Asian companies are taking stakes in Western technology companies-or buying them outright.

12:45-12:55 SPECIAL ADDRESS Yoriko Koike, Minister of the Environment, Japan

13:55-14:45 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (I) A Looming Environmental Crisis? Not everything about the startling economic growth in Asia-particularly in China and India over the past two decades-has been positive. Natural resources have been seriously depleted. Escalating pollution has produced widespread public health problems, mass migration, economic loss, and burgeoning social unrest. Governments, NGOs, and multinationals are acknowledging increased awareness of the problem and proposing solutions.

Speakers:
Jorgen M. Clausen, CEO and President, Danfoss A/S
Juergen Dormann, Chairman, ABB     
Elizabeth Economy, Director, Asia Studies and Senior Fellow for China, Council on Foreign Relations
William A. McDonough, Chairman, China-U.S. Center for Sustainable Development
Pan Yue, Deputy Minister, State Environmental Protection Administration, People's Republic of China

13:55-14:45 CONCURRENT SESSIONS(II) Is the Locus of Medical Research and Innovation Shifting to Asia?

Throughout the last century, most of the action in medical research and innovation took place in the West, home to the most up-to-date research facilities and the world's leading scientists, all funded by huge public- and private-sector investments. In recent years, some Asian countries have taken steps to attract research facilities and the scientists to lead them. We'll examine the successes and discuss the opportunities and challenges for the future.

Speakers:
Jing Cheng, Founder and CEO, CapitalBio Corp.
William A. Haseltine, Chairman and CEO, Haseltine Associates Ltd.
Edison Liu, M.D., Executive Director, Genome Institute of Singapore

13:55-14:45 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (III) Emerging Trade Relationships

In addition to the numerous trade associations already in existence-with their varying rules and purposes-far more are being contemplated or lobbied for globally. There are countless one-to-one free-trade agreements executed or pending. What does all this activity hold for the future? What would be best regionally? Globally? For multinationals?

Speakers:
Han Sung-Joo, Professor of International Relations, Korea University
Michael Johnson, MP, Secretary of China Committee, Parliament of Australia

Moderator:
Michael Elliott, TIME International Editor


13:55-14:45 CONCURRENT SESSIONS (IV) Wanted: Good Management

There is no issue more crucial to China's future-and nothing more bedeviling to foreign and domestic companies doing business in China-than management. It is the Achilles heel of Chinese reform. Chinese companies traditionally have followed the top-down model almost exclusively. To achieve success globally, China needs to advance beyond this model and multinationals need to find ways to build smooth partnerships within China. James McGregor, author of One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China, will lead an examination of these issues through two prominent case studies: the CICC deal of ten years ago and the pending IBM/Lenovo merger.

Speakers:
Elaine La Roche, Chairman of the Board, Linktone
Frances K. O'Sullivan, General Manager, Personal Computing Division, IBM
John Yang, U.S. Dean, Beijing International MBA Program, Peking University

Moderator:
James McGregor, Author, One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of
Doing Business in China


14:55-15:45 GENERAL SESSION
GLOBAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL BRANDING:
WHO'S WINNING AND WHY?
A global brand is an invaluable asset, but what is the best way to balance a global vision with local know-how and nuances? Increasingly, domestic "power brands" are challenging global market leaders-and their aspirations don't stop at their own borders. What strategies are being used to create powerful brands capable of building loyalty among increasingly savvy and sophisticated audiences? Three expert branders-Sir Martin Sorrell of WPP, Meg Whitman of eBay, and Masamoto Yashiro of Shinsei Bank-will discuss how companies, both global and local, are adapting to the ever-changing tastes and diversity of consumers.

Speakers:
Martin Sorrell, Group Chief Executive, WPP
Meg Whitman, President and CEO, eBay Inc.
Yang Mianmian, President, Haier Group Corp.    
Masamoto Yashiro, Chairman, President, and CEO, Shinsei Bank
