The Asia-Pacific offers great opportunities to overcome our challenges and do business better. Seizing these opportunities involves changes to how we do business and our supporting eco-systems. What can we change together? Make connections and find out as we bring together leading business academics and business leaders to understand the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’ of Asia-Pacific business.
The panel discussions and practical breakout sessions will connect business leaders and top academic researchers, from fields such as international business, Māori and Indigenous business, talent development, consumer engagement and tech.
