Our mission is to be the premier West Coast Asian Business Conference, by building on Berkeley's tradition of intense engagement with business, academic and political leadership throughout Asia. Today's attendees are, and will be, tomorrow's business leaders.

Together with our guests, we will create a stimulating forum for current and future business leaders to meet and exchange ideas on current topics & opportunities in Asian business.

Join us on March 1st, 2003 as we explore the multitude of issues and opportunities involved available for businesses involved in Asia.

It all started in the spring of 2001 ... The inaugural Haas Asia Business Conference started as the second in the Haas International Business Conference series. The first conference held in March 2000 – entitled "Who Controls the Capital Markets?" – focused on the capital markets of Europe, as seen through the prisms of the currency crisis of the 1990's. Speakers included the Haas School's own Professor Janet Yellen, former Economic Advisor to President Clinton, and Dr. Laura D'Andrea Tyson, former Dean of the Haas School and former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors to the President.
