About the HYSTA Annual Conference

Today we are in the midst of a global convergence of epic proportions. Globalization has taken hold, and, with the rise of China , the global power equation has shifted. China 's ascension has created a path to great prosperity, with unprecedented improvements in the standard of living for the Chinese people. China continues to be the number one destination for foreign investment, and the object of fascination to any CEO. China 's reach is now being felt in new ways as ambitious Chinese companies go global, reaching into new markets.

In considering all the elements of this global convergence, HYSTA is poised to enable discussion and an engagement of the issues through its programs and conferences. This year we are pleased to be able to host CEOs from China and the U.S. , Silicon Valley 's finest leaders, investors, policy makers, and academics to explore these topics. "We are also particularly pleased to have the honor of hosting former vice president Al Gore as our keynote speaker at our Annual Conference, speaking to the Chinese professional community and the collected entrepreneurs to further raise awareness of the unique era we are in and the social responsibility we have," said Jack Xu, HYSTA annual conference chair.
