How to start and run a small business in China

The American Chamber of Commerce in Beijing is holding a seminar about small- to medium-sized companies in China: how to start them and run them.

The seminar includes practical presentations by 18 entrepreneurs and business people who have real experience operating in China's tough commercial environment, without the support of a large multinational corporation.

The Am Cham website has more on the schedule, and the speakers (your correspondent is moderator of one of the sessions). There will also be updates about the event on the Am Cham Daily website.

The event, which lasts most of next Friday costs 1,000 yuan if you preregister (700 for Am Cham members), or 1,250 yuan if you just turn up on the day (950 for members).
