When Beijing's Economic and Technological Development Area (E-town) decided to hold an Internet industry conference - Cloud Valley World to discuss how the Internet will change traditional ways of doing things and how to take advantage of Internet industrialization, on Dec 12, it was taking the discussions of the 2014 World Internet Conference, in Zhejiang province, in November a step further.

The organizers -- E-town, Asiainfo Group, and Beijing Cloud Valley -- told the E-times, E-town's weekly, that the conference would invite Amazon Web Services, Tesla Motors, IBM and other giants, as well as China Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom, Alibaba, 360, Haier and other renowned Chinese enterprises.

The conference had several sessions for detailed discussions on manufacturing, telecommunications, finance, Internet security, and investment, with about 3,000 guests from China and abroad invited to the forums and a new products release conference. The organizers also arranged an exhibit area for new entrepreneurs to test their ideas, as well as casual talks between the participants where they could speak out freely about trends in the Internet and technology.
