You may be invited as an official team member or as a guest.    What will the professional activities consist of and where will they be held?   The program provides a balance of professional and cultural activities. Official team members may make presentations and/or engage in conversations with Chinese colleagues about all aspects of ceramics.   How will my organization benefit from this experience? How will it benefit me personally?   You will be able to present your organization, your business or your work to a Chinese audience anxious to know about you and collaborate with you. Explore opportunities in teaching, residencies, and exhibitions in China.   These programs have resulted in long lasting professional and personal relationships.   When is the registration deadline?   In order to prepare the team and plan for professional activities with our Chinese colleagues we need your commitment by 1/21/2013. Please register early as space is limited.     Read and listen to what past participants say about these programs.   _________________________________________________________________________ You might be wondering...    Who is WTE?   For the past 12 years, WTE Inc. has been connecting people in commerce, education, government and the arts in the US and China.
