The inaugural Fortune Brainstorm Tech International conference convenes world leaders to discuss innovation, technology, and the economy from December 5 to 6 in Guangzhou, China.
The event taps into the strength of two Fortune powerhouse series: Brainstorm Tech, which takes place each July in Aspen, and Global Forum, our long-running CEO summit. (Indeed, Brainstorm Tech International will colocate with this year’s Global Forum.) It takes place in Guangzhou, China’s southern gateway and an emerging center of tech innovation.
Fortune Brainstorm Tech International will explore the innovation revolution unfolding in China, a trend that is not yet fully appreciated or well understood around the world. The old notion of China as a tech copycat nation is being rapidly replaced by the emerging new reality of home grown innovation and mass implementation in fields that include artificial intelligence, social media, biotech, fintech, VR, automotive, the sharing economy, and mobile platforms. The conference program will feature the China innovators who are rewriting the rules and reshaping the landscape, in combination with tech leaders from around the world.
Fortune Brainstorm Tech International is at capacity but you can watch most of the program right here on this page. The festivities begin at 7:00 a.m. local time on Tuesday, Dec. 5 (or 6:00 p.m. Eastern on Mon. Dec. 4).
