Over 60 public and private Chinese companies were represented at this event.
The 2013 China Best Ideas Investment Conference focused on providing investors with a selection of Chinese public companies listed in the U.S. with strong business models, a commitment to corporate governance, and solid investor transparency.
“China is an important growth market and we look forward to supporting and participating in what promises to be a very productive dialogue about the future of Chinese companies and their participation in the global capital markets,” said Chen.

With a selection of small- to large-cap companies in sectors including internet, consumer, healthcare, technology and energy, the China Best Ideas Investment Conference served as a great introduction to investments that are leveraged to China's growth.
On the afternoon of September 9th,CCG and MBP hosted aCapital Markets & Accounting Bootcamp, a pre-conference event,at Beijing Four Seasons that was designed to provide U.S.-listed Chinese companies with a full range of strategic options to finance growth and create value, educate CFOs on the latest accounting and finance issues, and educate private companies about the going public process and market environment.
The conference and the pre-conference event were free to attend for invited company management and for qualified institutional investors.
They included a special presentation on the unusual risks present in business models dependent on the internet to generate sales/leads. Rev Sale examined some of the unseen tripwires in relying on digital advertising, search engine optimization, and traditional print & media promotion. A member of the brain trust at TNG/Earthling, he & CEO Bob Sakayama discussed "The Perils Of High Ranks" - what comes after success online. Success breeds competition of all kinds, and the skill set to stay in the game requires strategies to push back on copycats, scammers, hackers, & social media. And then there's the dreaded Google penalty, or more likely a change in Google's algorithm that drops your traffic. It was a crowd pleaser and generated much discussion.
