The conference will mark the release of the 12th annual China Human Capital Report-2020. It will feature distinguished keynote speeches and parallel sessions on critical topics related to human capital and labor markets on December 5, preceded by an onsite reception on December 4, if the situation permits. The meeting will be a hybrid of an in-person and a virtual event.
