Welcome to the Year of the Dragon! Together with our co-host PAEI, WIT-NC invites you to join us at Adobe’s high-tech Townhall Park for one of our most-loved events, our annual evening with longtime WIT-NC sponsor Baker McKenzie. Celebrate the Lunar New Year over drinks and a delicious dinner, hear all the latest China trade developments from both the US and China perspective, and join us as we honor John McKenzie for his many contributions to the international trade community and congratulate him on his transition to retirement.
