The first China 2.0 provided a great selection of topics and speakers who knew their specialties and made focused presentations--with very little overlap and repetition among panels, always a challenge at such conferences. Well-organized, well-moderated, with a smart audience that asked good questions.

China 2.0 achieved the balance of giving a clear overview to the China newcomers but still bringing insights to market participants about other sectors. Great conference and surely the start of a successful series.
