One day. Six hundred leaders. One question: what does it mean to lead with purpose now?

Geopolitical shifts and technological upheaval are rewriting the rules for business across Asia Pacific. The HBSAHK Signature Conference brings together around six hundred HBS alumni and senior business leaders from across the region for a full day of discussion on how to lead through it.

Expect the HBS way of working: a live case study taught by HBS faculty, expert panels moderated by HBS professors, a fireside chat with a marquee guest, and the kind of conversations over lunch that only happen when the whole region is in one room.

The day opens with an address from Srikant Datar, Dean of Harvard Business School.
