The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations is a partnership between the students and faculty of Harvard University, offering a sustained academic program and a forum of exchange to facilitate discussion of the most important economic, political, and social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region.

Past speakers at HPAIR's conferences include former South Korean President and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kim Dae Jung, Governor General of Australia Peter Hollingworth, and Singapore President S.R. Nathan.

The delegates to the HPAIR conference are top university students, chosen from an international pool of over 1200 applicants.

I was accepted into my first choice for panel discussion: China and India

HCABF is a conference that brings the world's top managers, researchers, and experts together with the best of tomorrow's leaders in order to explore the future of business and innovation in Asia.

Past speakers at HCABF's conferences include Finance Minister of Japan Heizo Takenaka, Economist Chief Editor Bill Emmott, Goldman Sachs Asia President Philip Murphy, Haier CEO Ruimin Zhang and numerous other luminaries.

Attached left is a major part of my application to HCABF; in my ENGG 405 (Engineering, Business and Society) class from second year, I wrote a book report about finding profit in third world countries so that both the investing multinational corporation and the bottom-of-the-financial-pyramid consumer would mutually benefit. In my application, I referenced the report and discussed the unrealised potential of the corporation's positive influence in such countries.
