The 2012 Organising Committee has developed an outstanding program featuring prominent speakers, including Li Cunxin well known as Mao’s Last Dancer as our keynote. Li’s astounding drive and relentless work made him one of the best dancers in the world and Li has since made a successful career transition from ballet into finance.
