Harvard College Project for Asian & International Relations (HPAIR) aims to bring together students, young professionals and industry leaders to discuss some of the most pressing economic, social and political issues in APAC. Since 1991, HPAIR has organised 49 conferences in 34 different host countries, touching the lives of more than 40,000 students and young professionals. HPAIR hosts two student-led conferences a year – one on Harvard’s campus and one in the Asia-Pacific.

As Harvard University’s largest annual student event in the Asia-Pacific region, HPAIR Asia Conference will be held in Hong Kong in August. The last time Hong Kong played host to the event was seven years ago.

Hong Kong is picked as the destination for this prestigious event, thanks to the city’s strategic location and connectivity, world-class infrastructure, comprehensive funding and dedicated support from the Hong Kong Tourism Board, local universities and other commercial entities, as well as the wide range of crowd-pleasing attractions and diverse experience the city has to offer.
