The 2010 Conference will take place on March 26 and 27, 2010.
The Asia Business Conference is an annual gathering jointly organized by student organizations of the Harvard Business School, the Harvard Law School, and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Now in its 19th year, it is the largest Asia-focused business conference in North America. The conference aims to foster meaningful discussion on policies and trends that dominate the business and legal institutions of modern Asia. To this end, the conference organizes a series of keynote speeches, plenary sessions, topical panels, and social events featuring distinguished leaders from industry, government, and academia who have intimate experience with Asia.
Shifting Paradigms, Shaping Possibilities
In 2010 the Asia Business Conference will focus on Asia’s evolution in a world that is very much in flux and full of opportunities to be seized. Over this past year, as the global economy continues to recover from the financial crisis, Asia has played a central and active role in the recovery. Asia has also figured prominently in commentators’ predictions as to the new global paradigms that are taking shape – economic, political, and social. Talk of decoupling has been displaced by a re-affirmation on how vitally connected the West, Asia and the rest of the world all are – with East to West capital flows playing a central role in the recovery of the global financial system. The geopolitical dimensions of business have taken on ever-greater significance as the forces toward increasing interconnectedness confront a simultaneous rise in protectionist sentiment. These tensions and the associated dynamism they engender will make for exciting times for business in Asia and globally in the years to come. With Asia’s uncertain (yet certainly pivotal) future in mind, the Asia Business Conference will assemble a group of distinguished speakers to examine the outlook for Asia and its role in the global economy.
