LISA’s eighth international forum in Greater China, this year’s CHINA FOCUS includes two days of business and technical presentations concentrating on global product development. The Forum features globalization services & outsourcing software development, open-standards for localization, and testing products for worldwide-markets.

Plenary sessions will examine the changing landscape of the Chinese economy, the role that globalization services and software outsourcing will play in it, and the opportunities that have emerged, both for companies outsourcing to China and for Chinese companies expanding to global markets.

CHINA FOCUS will address the advantages that Chinese outsourced software development companies and globalization service providers can offer international partners.

Drawing on LISA’s more than ten years of experience in the Greater China market, CHINA FOCUS brings together leading experts to help you understand how China will impact your business.
