Hosting Seminars while in USA- “China Business Workshop”

In china business by Michael MicheliniLeave a Comment

While I am in USA from January until February I will be hosting seminars on “Doing business in China” in various cities. Its amazing this will be my first time back to “mainland USA” (I don’t count Hawaii) since May 2012. During that last trip, while in Los Angeles, I hosted a China Meetup in LA that was fun and also sharing / learning.

This time I’m going to try this, as well as have my “Secret weapon”, my wife Wendy (Wang Xia) with me to help. I feel that justifies the meeting more, as she is Chinese and has over 10 years of China business experience.

I always use my personal blog here to brainstorm and get feedback from friends and readers. This is the basic idea:

  • Chinese E-Commerce Setup and Marketing
  • Chinese Social Media Setup and Marketing

Locations

These are cities we are considering to go to.

  • San Francisco
  • Los Angeles
  • San Diego
  • Chicago
  • New York City
  • Boston
  • Miami

If there are others that have enough demand, we can consider traveling there.

Seminar Format

Here is a basic outline of the evening seminars:

  1. First 20 minutes – Intro: We hope to have it a bit interactive, learn who is there and why they are attending.
  2. 1.5 hours – We will have a powerpoint jam packed with valuable information.
  3. 15 minutes – We will then go over real case studies.
  4. 15 minutes – And of course question and answers, that we hope will be valuable for the entire audience. If there are questions that may not add value to all attendees, we can help after the seminar.

Attendee Fee

These aren’t going to be free, sorry. These will be professional powerpoint, with real, on the ground experience. It’s going to provide extreme value for attendees.

We think its fair to charge $99usd for an evening session. If we have requests for a full day session, the cost will be $299usd.

We need to get a minimum of 6 people to make it viable to host the seminar.

So please, private message me, comment me below, tweet me, facebook, etc. I hope to help those curious about China business, as well as of course help cover some of my travel expenses.

I will setup an eventbrite.com booking page once the details are confirmed. Definitely going to try one in San Francisco.
