CAIS Institute Announces Chinese Language Conference 2008

School administrators and educators across the country will head to San
Francisco next month for the Chinese Language Conference 2008, the nation's
largest conference exclusively dedicated to promoting the teaching and learning
of Chinese language programs in America. Hosted by the CAIS Institute, a leading
resource for integrating Chinese language and culture into American education
programs, the national conference will be held at the Hilton Hotel in San
Francisco from March 14-16, 2008. China Books and Periodicals, America's largest
and oldest distributor of books and other cultural products from China, is the
presenting sponsor.

Globalization continues to boost the growing economic and cultural
influence of China - one of the world's largest economies. Over the next decade
across America, the study of Chinese will dramatically rise along with the need
for Americans who are fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
