For registered attendants of AZ China’s 4th International Aluminium and Carbon Conference, on the night of Tuesday, May 6, 2014 there is an option: to Gala, or not to Gala? That is the question.
But what is the measure of our decision?
If our minds long to be entertained, dulled by the weary excuses for conference entertainment we so often see – we say yes! Our pre-dinner traditional Chinese entertainers are as charismatic as they are alluring.
If our hearts yearn for delectable cuisine so scrumptious our watering mouths flood the lands – we say yes! Guests will dine at 7:30pm in picturesque Houhai, a reclusive lake smack dab in the middle of Beijing surrounded by enticing nightlife.
Diners will be served a scrumptious assortment of seasonal dishes, basted and broiled to perfection.
If our bodies long for an adventure we haven’t had since our misspent youth – we say, why certainly, yes! A convenient adventure that is; guests will be promptly and safely delivered to and from each stage of the Gala journey and still get back to the hotel early enough for a good night’s sleep before the final day of the conference. If you’re a night owl, you’ll also have the option to stay and kick back at the surrounding neon-lit guitar bars for a lakeside beer or wander around the lake at your own pace.
But don’t be fooled by the guise of just a great meal and environment! The evening has cunningly disguised networking opportunities for the benefit of guests’ business development as well as their enjoyment and relaxation.
How to get on board the Gala Dinner train?
On the registration page of the conference, there is an added option to attend the Gala dinner. For those who have already registered and did not check the option but would like to attend, you may pay for the Gala dinner at a later point, although we can’t guarantee available seats. There are already a very limited number of remaining spaces available. Register soon for a great night in the heart of Beijing!
Unlike this divisive Gala occasion, AZ China’s Gala Dinner won’t be half as awkward!
The AZ China International Carbon Conference is now accepting registrations.
The conference will be held May 24 to 27 2010, at the Beijing Hilton hotel, Beijing, China. The theme of the conference is “The decade ahead - opening the red curtain”. We will look at the shape of the aluminium and carbon industries, with a view to how things are likely to unfold as the world emerges from the exonomic crisis.
We have several speakers lined up already, including experts from inside and outside China.
There will be some very special events attached to the conference. Perhaps the most exciting will be a formal dinner on the Great Wall of China. We have secured permission to hold a dinner on top of the Wall, and have hired an executive chef to prepare an outstanding dinner. It will be a night to remember.

Following our highly successful Black China conference in June 2008, and in response to so much interest in a follow-up conference, I am pleased to announce that we have set in motion the planning to conduct our next conference.
We are tentatively scheduling it for May 2010 (I did say it was a very early heads-up). We are currently looking at options for venues, with the short list being Hong Kong, Qing Dao or here in Beijing. Hong Kong has obvious advantages for international travellers. Qing Dao is famous for its sailing and its beer. If we choose Beijing, it will be at one of the resorts on or close to the Great Wall. You are welcome to submit your comments and preferences as to venue.
No other details yet. But I am pleased to say that Mrs Ros Rath, who organised the last conference, has agreed to take on this project. We will publish more details as they become firm.
