[Beijing] World-Class Innovation Management for Government & Business

For more information, please check out Harvard Club of
Beijing's website at
http://www.beijingharvardclub.com/index.htm

Dear Alumni:

Greetings from the Harvard Club of Beijing!

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you
of the preparatory work we have done thus far to host
the upcoming "10th Harvard Forum" in Beijing on
December 4, 2005 at the Kerry Center Hotel and solicit
your feedback and assistance to make the event better.

As detailed in the attached Program Schedule, the
topic of this day-long event in Beijing is
"World-Class Innovation Management for Government &
Business", with the aim of leveraging our alumni
network resources to establish a one-day platform for
sharing of government and industry experiences on the
topic of innovation management.

We have been very fortunate to have obtained the
acceptance from the following distinguished guests to
be our keynote speakers this year:

* Harvard Business School Professor David Yoffie
* Mayor Wang Qishan of the Beijing Municipal
Government

After the keynote speeches, there will be four
industry and one government panel discussions during
which at least one Chinese as well as one non-Chinese
panelists will share their experiences and views under
the guidance of a moderator. We hope through
sino-foreign comparisons and contrasts each panel will
generate new thoughts and insight for all of us.

To make the 10th Harvard Forum a successful one, the
Organizing Committee would highly appreciate your
assistance with the following:

1. Suggest and/or invite top executives from IT,
real estate, financial and auto industries to
participate as panelists
2. Obtain sponsorships for the event

Please contact the following Organizing Committee
members if you have any suggestions and/or leads for
the above:

* Larry Kung (13901165942, lkung@iptv.com.cn)
* William Xu (13801356253, whui@chainshine.com)

You will be receiving another email in November with
the final invitation and details for the event. We
look forward to your support and attendance.

Nov. 9th 6 PM 555 California, SF: Stephen Cauley, Ph.D, UCLA Anderson RE Bubble Lecture

The Effects of a Rising Interest Rate Environment on
Commercial and Residential Real Estate in California

When: November 9, 2005
Time: 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Sponsor: UCLA - Anderson School - Bay Area

Talk of a Real Estate Bubble has dominated the news
for well over a year. Parallels to the "Dot Com" crash
of 2001 are drawn by pundits without true knowledge of
the underlying dynamics of the real estate market.
With a record percentage of Americans owning their own
homes, most of us have a vested interest in knowing
where the market is headed. Please join fellow Bay
Area Alumni for an informative presentation and
interactive panel discussion featuring noted real
estate academics and industry luminaries.

Keynote Speaker: Stephen Cauley, Ph.D, Anderson
Lecturer and Ziman Center Director of Research

Featured UCLA Alumni: Greg Alden, Woodside Hotels and
Resorts David Griffin, First Horizon Bank

When: November 9, 2005
Time: 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Where: Carnelian Room, Bank of America Tower, 555
California Street, San Francisco
http://carnelianroom.com .

Tickets: $20 can be purchased at
http://alumni.anderson.ucla.edu/chapters/chapter.asp?id=bayarea
Friends, colleagues and family are welcome to attend.
Appetizers will be provided.
