Events
GCC events connect companies, social organizations, and individuals through annual conferences as well as smaller scale forums. The organization hosts two major conferences each year, generally in New York City (spring) and Beijing (summer). Conferences contain discussion on subjects such as politics, business, journalism, and culture related to China. Smaller conferences and events are also hosted by chapters within GCC.
Previous speakers at GCC conferences include:
Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia
Orville Schell, director of the Asia Society's Center on U.S. China-Relations
Susan Shirk, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize-winning economist and Columbia University professor
Bai Yansong, CCTV anchor
The smaller forums are based on subjects such as China's sustainable development/environmental protection challenges; the stimulus packages passed by China and the U.S.; the current state of the American media; U.S.-China relations; and China's developing capital markets.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“At all events there is in Brooklyn
something that makes me feel at home.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
