Past speakers at HPAIR conferences include: Kim Dae-jung (Former President, Republic of South Korea and Nobel Laureate), S. R. Nathan (President, Singapore), Kim Young-sam ( President, Republic of South Korea), Norodom Ranariddh (Prime Minister, Cambodia), Fred Hu (Managing Director, Goldman Sachs Asia), Jeffrey Sachs, (Professor of Economics, Columbia University).

We feel that you will find HPAIR conferences to be meaningful, global, and exciting. Not only is it a great opportunity to interact with world renowned speakers and leaders, but it is also a terrific opportunity to make new friends from all over the world.
