Soon, nearly 2,000 participants from 90 countries will meet in China’s coastal city of Tianjin for the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2016.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is expected to deliver a speech on Monday, and other high-level guests will include Xiaomi Founder Lei Jun or Travis Kalanick, Uber’s CEO and Co-Founder.

Following the Brexit referendum, participants will also discuss the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision last week to keep interest rates unchanged and the potential of one or two hikes later this year.
