To this end, the Conference organizes a series of keynote speeches, plenary sessions, topical panels, and social events. In the past, we have attracted over 300 participants across Asia and North America.

Now in its 30th year, we would like to pay homage to the flurry of activity and bold initiatives taking place in our region – leading us to this year’s Conference theme:
Asian Momentum: Breakthrough Success in Asia and Beyond.
