As Harvard's largest annual student connection in Asia, HPAIR creates a forum of exchange and facilitates discussion of the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. Since 1991, the annual HPAIR conferences have brought together students from the world's foremost universities and leaders in the fields of government, business, culture, and academia. The Asia Conference has emerged as Harvard University's largest annual student event in Asia.
Continuing HPAIR's tradition of academic excellence, the HPAIR Harvard Conference seeks to create a rigorous forum for dialogue and exchange. With the theme of "Asia Ascendant - Seizing New Heights" and covering topics on foreign policy, public health, environmental issues, gender equality, and cultural transformations, the 2010 HPAIR Harvard Conference will invite both foreign delegates and American students to engage in thoughtful conversations regarding critical issues affecting Asia and the world today. Through specific case-studies, delegates will learn to investigate into tackle real-life issues from different perspectives that are defined by their interest group affiliation and not necessarily similar to their own, to hear different opinions, to reason for their own, and together make suggestions incorporating inputs from different interest groups.
