China Overseas Investment Fair

The Commercial Section of the Embassy of the United State of American invites all U.S. States and territories to join the U.S. Pavilion during the Third China Overseas Investment Fair 2011 in Beijing, November 8-9, and encourages all who cannot attend in person to participate in a Catalogue Show.

The Commercial Section is also organizing a SelectUSA Seminar as part of the Fair and is hereby soliciting participation by U.S. States and territories interested in speaking face-to-face with potential Chinese investors. Catalogue Show participants ($200 / Participant) can have a dedicated table at the Seminar for 1-on-1 meetings for an additional $100 per destination.
