Skincare & Cosmetics China Workshop

You and your colleagues are invited for a new workgroup discussion on skincare & cosmetics sector on July 23, 2009 in Shanghai.

This workgroup aims to providing a platform and an opportunity for senior managers of supply chain, logistics and procurement to get to know each other, network, share operational experiences and think on how to cooperate and work with each other to increase efficiencies in China's skincare and cosmetics sector.

By sharing experiences, best practices, market knowledge, common issues and other key topics (e.g. regulations, IP, ect.), this new workgroup is designed to help senior executives from sometimes competing companies to work together to identify where synergies exist, learn from each other and accelerate the growth of your own industry in China.

Why our workgroups are different?
- Unlike committees organized by other councils and chambers, this workgroup series is restricted to industrial and logistics executives from the property and real estate sectors. Vendors such as bankers, headhunters, IT/software or consultants are not allowed in these discussions.
- This workgroup series is also organized in an "informal" setting (e.g. selected quiet restaurants) where good food (and drinks) tend to foster discussion and openness between participants.

When: July 23, lunch 12:00 noon
Fee: Member: 100 RMB
         Non Member: 200 RMB
Venue: to be confirmed soon

Please note that this workgroup is strictly reserved to supply chain, procurement and sourcing skincare and cosmetics executives. Any vendors like bankers, headhunters, 3PLs, freight forwarders, IT/software or consultants are not allowed in this workgroup discussion and will be rejected at the door.

Please register online, no email or phone calls please.
