Asia has recovered faster than most regions from the recent financial crisis and is dominating the headlines as the emerging economic powerhouse. The theme of the 2010 conference, “Asia: Shifting the Global Center of Gravity,” seeks to provocatively discuss whether major business and commercial activities are increasingly centered on the Asian region.

The conference seeks to address these issues from 4 perspectives:

• Macroeconomic trends occurring in Asia’s ascent and its broader implications on capital flows and labor
• Rise of Asia as a region of business and technology innovation as well as entrepreneurship
• Challenges of leadership, organizational alignment and people management amidst relentless growth in Asia
• Implications for personal development and career growth to take advantage of Asia's rapid growth
