About Global Chinese Financial Forum

Posted Thu, 09/10/2009 - 12:36 by Danny

Organized by ChineseWorldNet.com Inc., Global Chinese Financial Forum (GCFF) is the most prominent series of bi-lingual financial functions in both North America and China. Established in 2000, GCFF continues to abide by its unchanging mandate - to provide a world class platform connecting both the Asian and North American financial markets..

With an extensive network reaching both North America and China combined with expertise in the global capital market, GCFF's conferencing platform is supported by a strong foundation of financial resources. Through these resources, GCFF is able to provide the leading financial events that facilitate business growth and networks between financial institutions, public companies, private companies, and investors. To take it one step further, GCFF has dedicated its wide-reaching network to helping groups from both North America and China through its extremely well received road shows.

Over 35 GCFF conferences have been held in 4 locations worldwide: Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco and China, focusing on regionally specific topics, servicing



Vancouver - With the influx of immigrants from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan over the past two decades, has truly become the gateway between North America and China. The port city has now become largest population centre of expatriate Chinese immigrants per capita in Canada. To serve the growing Chinese-speaking demographic, the Vancouver Conference is aimed at delivering the cutting edge of financial knowledge and opportunities to Chinese-speaking investors through exhibitions, workshops and corporate presentations.
Toronto - The flagship conference of the GCFF series, the Toronto Conference is hosted in the financial hub of Canada; home to the financial institutions such as the Toronto Stock Exchange as well as financial professionals that are the heart of Canadian enterprise. Along with being the centre of Canadian business, Toronto is also home to a large Chinese-speaking population. With this in mind, the Toronto Conference is a 2 day event, servicing both the interests in Chinese - Canadian cross border business exchange, as well as the sizable Chinese-speaking investing community. For its Day 1 event, the Toronto Conference brings together Chinese enterprise and Canadian financial institutions and service providers, helping Chinese companies find the services they need to list in the Canadian capital markets. The Day 2 - Financial Expo is aimed towards Chinese-speaking investors, bringing listed companies, financial professionals and market experts to provide financial knowledge, wealth management strategies and investment opportunities. The Toronto Conference is supported by government agencies representing Toronto, Canada as well as Chinese local and trade authorities.
San Francisco - As a culturally and economically diverse city, San Francisco is home to a large population of expatriate Chinese from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. With one of the largest per capita Chinese populations in the United States, San Francisco was a prime location for a GCFF conference. The San Francisco Conference has been a key conference for the GCFF since its inception in 2004. As the only GCFF conference held in the US to date, the San Francisco Conference provided one of the few sources of face-to-face opportunities for listed companies to engage with Chinese-speaking investors in the country. The Conference is also committed to facilitating Chinese-North American cross border investment opportunities, with the 2008 Conference focused on bringing Chinese enterprises to North America.
China - As the "factory of the world" for the past two and a half decades, the Chinese economy has matured to include robust financial and services sectors in cities like Shanghai and Dalian. With Chinese companies rushing to seek financing from the local capital markets and abroad in order to expand, financial professionals, institutions, and institutional and individual investors are looking towards China as the next great opportunity. The China Conference has quickly become one of the largest conferences held by our company. The Conference aims to meet the needs of Chinese enterprises by providing networking opportunities with financial professionals and service providers primarily from North America, but also from Europe as well locally in China, and to help facilitate the entrance of these companies into the North American capital markets, such as with listing, financing and networking goals. With this function, the China Conference also supports local Chinese investors, providing the growing investor class with the same cutting edge financial information and investment opportunities that our North American audience has. The China Conference, held in the cities Shanghai and Dalian in the past, has experienced monumental support from local and national level government agencies, as well as North American financial institutions. As the events grow in popularity and size every year, so does the scope of GCFF functions as the series continues to expand in both North America and China in order to provide an unparalleled platform for the financial world.
GCFF road shows are custom tailored business trips designed for companies interested in expanding either to China or North America. Through its international network, GCFF acts as a marketing arm in promoting the compelling stories of these companies. In addition, GCFF dedicates its resources to developing the future of its clients by personally matching them with the most compatible prospects.
