With a tech scene that easily rivals Silicon Valley – and home to legendary companies like Baidu, Renren, and Sohu – Beijing is teeming with innovation (read: geeks!). Yet despite their rapidly growing economy, getting access to the right mix of ‘insiders’ in this crowded market isn’t easy. We’ve partnered with some of Beijing’s most influential organizations and leaders to connect our geeks with the key startups, investors, and companies in this dynamic ecosystem.

The agenda includes:

• Welcome dinner hosted by the Great Wall Club, featuring Dave McClure + China’s leading investors
• Geeks On A Wall: Excursion to the Great Wall of China
• Tour + Demos at Innovation Works, an early-stage fund and incubator founded by Dr. Kai-Fu Lee (former President, Google China)
• ChinAccelerator Demo Day, a showcase of early-stage startups incubated there
• Tour of the Forbidden City, the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty
• Group Buying in China vs. U.S.: Cocktail event hosted by Silicon Valley Bank featuring Living Social & 24Quan
• Visit to Garage Cafe, a cafe/co-working space that is the hub of Beijing’s startup scene
• Visit to Z-Park (Zhongguancun): China’s “Silicon Valley”
• Visit to the HQ’s of some of Beijing’s hottest tech companies
