Since 1994, the student-run Asia Business Conference at Harvard Business School has hosted dynamic discussions on Asia by thought leaders in a range of disciplines and fields. Today, it is the largest student-run conference on Asia in North America, bringing together Asian community and its leading entrepreneurs, professionals, policymakers, and thought leaders from not only Harvard and greater Boston community, but also from all over the world. 

With a proud institutional history at Harvard. This year’s conference will be co-hosted by the Asian-Affinity Business Association and the Southeast Asia Club at HBS in partnership with Greater China Club at HBS, AAPI and SEA Caucus at HKS, Harvard Asian Law Society at HLS, and Harvard Indonesian Student Association. Our goal is to foster meaningful discussion on policies, cultures, and trends that dominate the institutions of modern Asia. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to explore this year’s conference theme “Asia Ascendent: Shaping Tomorrow’s Global Economy” and expand their professional network through the keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking sessions. We believe that the conference will leave attendees with meaningful insights and connections on Asia. 

It is our hope that our conference will prove to be an insightful survey of the economic, social, cultural, and political implications of the changing world and Asia.
