 Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) was founded in

About 1991 to create a forum of exchange for students and young professionals to discuss and
learn about the most important economic, political, and social issues facing the Asia-

HPAIR
Pacific region. Since 1991, HPAIR has organized 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. Prospective host cities in Asia must undergo an intensive, six month
bidding process; this year’s Asia Conference will be held in Hong Kong.

HPAIR conferences feature world-class speakers and guests to foster mentorship,

networking, and guidance opportunities for delegates. Previous speakers include Kevin Rudd,
the former Prime Minister of Australia; Ban Ki-moon, the former Secretary General of the
United Nations; Robin Chase, co-founder and former CEO of Zipcar; and Frank Friedman,
current COO of Deloitte Global.
