Berkeley China Summit 

About BCS

Berkeley China Summit (or “BCS”), founded in 2016, holds an annual summit and speaker series featuring high-level discussions about the latest discoveries, trends, and cross-border opportunities. Our mission is to encourage bilateral discussion and collaboration between the US and China, past topics include education, healthcare, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, and beyond.

Over the past 6 years, we have invited over 150 high-profile speakers, including Nobel Laureates Eric Betzig (2014), Randy Schekman (2013), and Turing Award Winners Richard Karp (1985), David Patterson (2017), and John Hennessy (2017).

​

BCS is affiliated with the  CAA Chinese Chapter at UC Berkeley, one of the oldest chapters in the organization.  With roots in the Chinese Student Club formed over a century ago to support ethnic Chinese students, the CAA Chinese Chapter continues to build bridges and promote understanding.
