Who should attend: Sourcing & Vendor Management professionals

Description:

More and more Vendor Sourcing professionals are asking and being asked, "What about China as an offshore destination?" China's growing visibility on the global stage coupled with rising unrest in India, makes it a potentially appealing offshore location for many firms.

During John's recent week in the country, he met with 15 suppliers. Based on those and other discussions, this session accurately examines what the top vendors offer in terms of services and experiences. It looks at China's core strengths and challenges, comparing its place as an offshore destination with other alternatives like Vietnam, Brazil, and Mexico.

Agenda:

• The structure of China's offshore vendors/market
• Changes in the China export market over the past 24 months
• What the next three years hold for China's offshore providers
• What kind of work and which companies are best suited for China?
