The Beijing EB-5 Expo – called the 2012 Immigration & Education Conference, was held on December 15 – December 16, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt, in Beijing, China.
Approximately 2,000 investors attended the event, less than the expected number due to inclement weather conditions. More than 55 agents braved the weather traveling from all across China to attend the Expo. Major Chinese media were present at the event.
The Event was hosted by Swift Overseas in conjunction with the AOJI group and the Beijing Exit and Entry Service Association.
