Asia Business Conference 2007 at Harvard Business School

The Asia Business 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. It is jointly organized by the Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, and Kennedy School of Government.

This year's theme is "Transformation and Sustainability." The conference will focus on the rapid transformation Asia is undergoing as a result of internal and external pressures. Faced with such transformation, Asian political and business leaders are trying to create a model of growth and development that is not only fast but sustainable. The conference examines whether transformation and sustainability can be reconciled into a dynamic yet stable Asia.
