The Hongqiao International Open Hub and Coordinated Regional Development Forum, or the HUB Conference, is a parallel session of the Hongqiao International Economic Forum, which is an important part of the fourth China International Import Expo.

Titled "Hongqiao International Open Hub and Regional Integration," the HUB Conference will be held in the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) on Nov 6.

Main topics of the conference include new roles of Hongqiao in the new global landscape, such as a first-class international CBD, a new platform for global trade, a new transportation gateway and a new channel for high-end global resource allocation.
