The 6th Annual Chinese Internet Research Conference (CIRC) conference will take place next week in Hong Kong at the University of Hong Kong on June 13-14, 2008.

This year’s conference theme, “China and the Internet: Myths and Realities,” seeks to separate fact from fiction about the Internet in China. As the attention of the world will be focused upon the upcoming 2008 Olympic Games, this timely event will explore the political, social, economic, cultural and institutional aspects of Internet development in China.

They’ve got a good lineup of web entrepreneurs, Chinese bloggers, journalists, industry experts and scholars from around the globe who will present and lead roundtable discussions.
