With all the experience from the HPAIR conferences in Beijing (Academic Conference, August 17-20) and Hong Kong (Business Conference, August 24-26) in mind, we look forward to meeting each other again for this year’s post-conference meeting in Germany (appointment TBD).

On the conferences, we have discussed and learned about the most recent social, political and economic developments in Asia-Pacific.

For some of us, participating in HPAIR already means meeting with good friends - friendships that have been established and catalyzed by the sharing of ideas and interests - beyond the horizons of cultural identity.
