OUR MISSION

The Asia Pacific Conference (APC) is an annual student-led conference dedicated to elevating Asia Pacific voices in global policy discussions. Established in 2024, APC serves as a premier platform for thought leaders, policymakers, and academics to engage in meaningful dialogue on the most pressing geopolitical, economic, and climate issues shaping the Asia Pacific region

 

The Asia Pacific Conference was founded to fill a critical gap in regional discourse. Until its launch in 2024, Harvard Kennedy School had never hosted an Asia-focused regional conference in its history. Following a successful inaugural symposium, APC has now grown into a permanent annual platform that convenes distinguished speakers from across the Asia Pacific and beyond.
