"Attending the CBBC UK University Alumni-Industry Forum in Shenzhen was an enlightening and rewarding experience. The forum offered tremendous value.

What Our Members and Clients Say

"In the old days it was possible to go to a country blind and work from the yellow pages upon arrival, this no longer works and the CBBC prepared the way for us prior to booking any airline tickets to China.

CBBC’s service was easy, diligent and accurate. Well worth the fees charged."

What Our Members and Clients Say

"We developed a great partnership with the CBBC for over 15 years and their dedication to the organization and execution of their events has just improved year on year. This year's Consumer China 2023 was phenomenal. From the venue to the range of speakers, their attention to detail and creative approach was second to none. I recommend that all UK brands should attend in the future. As a sponsor it is refreshing to meet new brands every year and discuss their China market entry strategies. It is exciting to be around like-minded professionals that are passionate about China. It will be something I look forward to next year!"
