Harvard Asia Business Conference 2014

Welcome to the 2014 Asia Business Conference!

As the foremost and largest student-run Asia law and business conference in North America, the Asia Business Conference at Harvard brings together leaders in law, business, government, and academia to discuss the dynamic developments in Asia.

This year’s Conference theme is “Moving Up the Value Chain”, which explores the growth of various industries in Asia as the comparative advantage of the region shifts from low-cost production to high-value contributions. The conference will include five law-themed panels: (1) Trade and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, (2) Capital Markets, (3) Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions, (4) Outbound Investment and Sovereign Wealth Funds, and (5) Corruption and the FCPA.

We are pleased to welcome many distinguished speakers from business, government, and academia who will participate in a diverse series of keynote talks and panels. It is our hope that our conference will prove to be an insightful survey of the economic, social, and political implications of a rapidly changing Asia.

Sincerely, Co-Chairs of the 2014 Asia Business Conference
