Right after the joint press conference held at Shanghai International Convention Center on the 9th of June, Virtuos confirmed to join the Business Matching Day of CGOC 2010 and, in the meantime, become one of the silver sponsors of CGOC 2010. Virtuos is one of the largest and the most recognized outsourcing studios in China. The active part played by Virtuos this time in CGOC 2010 comes from its great support and expectation for CGOC 2010. With the first round of registration coming to a close, more and more enterprises and individuals get to know more and deeper about CGOC 2010. The organizing committee of CGOC 2010 witnesses another peak of consultation from potential participants and audiences. As one of the three high-end business events attached to ChinaJoy, CGOC 2010 is going to take place from July 31 to August 1 at Shanghai International Convention Center.

As an important part of CGOC 2010, the sector named Business Matching Day will provide a good platform to both the outsourcers and the outsourcees. The platform enables both sides to share their experience in technology and management while making sure they can come to an agreement of business cooperation. The organizing committee of CGOC 2010 hopes to set up an effective platform for business negotiations. The two-day event will be able to, on the one hand, launch discussions over topics such as outsourcing project management, mutual needs and outsourcing procedures. On the other hand, it will also bring about practical business cooperation. Both will benefit participants with various purposes.
