Starting in 1991, Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) has organized the largest annual student conferences in the Asia Pacific Region.

Through specific case-studies, delegates will learn to investigate and tackle real-life issues from diverse perspectives that are defined by their interest group affiliation, to evaluate different opinions, to reason on their own, and to work together to make suggestions incorporating inputs from different interest groups.

Summit delegates are chosen from our 15 international chapters in the Asia-Pacific and non-ASES members from elite universities all over the world. Our delegates participate in lectures and workshops led by successful entrepreneurs, veteran venture capitalists, and Stanford academics. They also get the chance to get to know these people though scheduled networking and social events. Summit delegates also visit some of the Silicon Valley's top companies and start-ups like Google, Tesla and Genentech.
