Event Details
In recent months the news cycle has been dominated by the US - China trade dispute and tariffs on US exports of agricultural commodities and Chinese exports of industrial and consumer goods. Disagreements on technology transfer and whether Huawei is a national security threat complicate the timely resolution of negotiation issues. There is even growing debate whether the reversal of globalization of markets is now underway and whether the US and Chinese economies are decoupling. How do these developments look from the perspective of a NASDAQ - listed microcap technology firm in Chicagoland? Booth alumnus David Neumann, CEO of PCTEL, Inc., a leading global supplier of precision antennas and wireless networking testing solutions, confronts these matters on a daily basis. Join us for this timely and provocative event.
6:00 pm – 6:30 pm networking
6:30 pm – 8:00 pm presentation
8:00 pm – 9:00 pm cash bar at The Midway Club at Gleacher Center
