Dear Sir/Madam,

It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the fourth Global Automotive Forum (“GAF”) on October 17-18, 2013 in Wuhan, China. Created by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Automotive Committee, the GAF goes beyond existing national or regional automotive conferences by taking a holistic, integrated approach to the global automotive industry that aims to generate outcome-oriented discussions among automotive business leaders, political decision-makers, economists and industry experts. In doing so, the Forum provides participants with unique insights into the technological, economic, societal and trade developments impacting the industry.

The high level of participation, as well as the quality of the discussion during the first three forums has demonstrated its usefulness as an annual, truly global platform that discusses the structural changes, trends, critical factors and opportunities facing the automotive sector both worldwide and in China. With its global view and high profile, the Forum has become a “must-go“ international event for industry leaders. In fact, the GAF was ranked as the tenth most influential conference in
China, and the first among auto conferences, based on the number of searches on Baidu and Google. During a one year period, the GAF was the subject of nearly 20 million searches.

We are proud of what has already been accomplished, and are determined to make GAF2013 even more successful. This year’s agenda will cover a wide range of issues and challenges facing all industry leaders, and the sessions will be structured to encourage maximum interaction and debate. The GAF2013 will coincide with the Wuhan Auto Show.

We are confident that you will find the GAF2013 to be as rewarding and informative as participants have found it in past years. We look forward to having the pleasure of welcoming you to Wuhan in the golden autumn.

With best regards,

Wang Xia
