Over the past three months, we have polled our members several times to assess the impact of COVID-19 on foreign businesses in China. As the world steps up to contain the spread of the virus, companies are gaining increasing clarity on these impacts to their operations and markets.


Please join us on May 7 for a webinar via Microsoft Teams where Tianjin Chapter Chairman Michael Hart will share findings from our latest survey including contrasting how Tianjin member attitudes compare with other AmCham members across China. The survey results show us where companies are in their return to normal operations, what their main pain points are and how this has impacted their outlook on the rest of 2020 and how their strategies are evolving.


Former Tianjin Chapter Chairman Martin Winchell will join us for a Q&A session sharing his experiences from the frontline line. His company, Schneider logistics is one of the largest foreign owned logistics companies in China. Their customers include many fortune 500 brands and services nationwide in China. They have unique perspective on how to manage supply chains and overall best practices.


Special notice:

This event will be free for all AmCham China cardholding members and will be conducted in English. Microsoft Teams (web or app) is required to access the webinar. Meeting link will be included in the confirmation email after successful registration.
