Washington State in China will be a two day event in Shanghai hosted by Gov. Christine Gregoire on Sept. 17 and 18.
The Governor’s visit to China will offer Washington business and government leaders the opportunity to cement the existing ties between Washington and China.
The Governor’s visit begins with a festive dinner at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel. Guests will include high-level Chinese business executives with an interest in investing or operating in Washington state, Chinese government officials, and Washington state business and government contacts visiting or living in China.
The next day, Gregoire, her delegation, and guests will visit the Shanghai Expo.
Event sponsorships are available for $5,000, which would entitle your organization to 10 registrations.
Each registrant will receive:
• An invitation to the cocktail reception and dinner at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel.
• Special trip to the Shanghai Expo on Saturday, including complimentary admission into the expo, attendance at the business panels at the U.S. pavilion, and attendance at a reception following the business panels.
All sponsors will also receive special recognition in the media announcements and the printed program for the event.
Sponsorships are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and the deadline to register is July 12. Any proceeds remaining after all event expenses are paid will benefit the Washington State China Relations Council. ♦
