Hong Kong will host a Forbes forum to confirm the city's status as a major center for international events, according to sources from the Invest Hong Kong, a co-organizer of the event.

The Forbes chief executive officer (CEO) conference, which will be held from September 24 to 26, is expected to draw corporate chiefs around the world with a focus on growing opportunities on the Chinese mainland, the sources said Monday.

The conference last year was held in Singapore a week after the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States.

The sources also said that Hong Kong financial Secretary Antony Leung Tuesday will preside over a signing ceremony for this event with Steve Forbes, president and CEO of Forbes and editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine.

The business blueprint is changing and in September the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Hong Kong reassesses it for success. The following is a list of topics that will be covered:

  • The New China Entrepreneur

  • China's Emerging Global Brand

  • Reassessing the Global Financial Outlook

  • The cost of business capital and which tools in the box suit you

  • How companies are micro-segmenting developing markets for profit

  • Managing your software: the importance of people and the long-term war for talent

  • Technology: what's hot and what's not for your business

  • Avoiding Asia Enrons - Making Asia's Corporate Governance World Class

  • Information security and data protection

  • The North - South divide: is ASEAN's relative weakness permanent?

  • How will China trade with the world? New rules and a new referee Japan adrift?

  • What does the rest of the world think of the West as the globe shrinks?

  • How to achieve "The Good Life"



    The 2nd Annual Forbes Global CEO Conference - Asia (September 24-26, 2002, Hong Kong)
    The business environment is changing rapidly. The all-pervasiveness of technology has transformed even the stodgiest of companies into leaner, more efficient machines, facilitating just-in-time inventory levels, price-effective global marketing reach, rapid fulfillment and immediate customer relations.

    Money is moving at the speed of light around the globe and, with ever more complex financial tools, successfully fuelling the creativity of entrepreneurs and nurturing the accelerated integration of developing markets into the world economy. Competition lurks in every corner.
