The one held in Harvard has been going on for a few years. I think it is the oldest Asia Business Conference held within an academic setting. I am calculating the airfare+logistic fees to see whether it will fall into my budget. It should be pretty nice to spend a weekend mixing business with pleasure in a city carried some of the most precious American history. I traveled to Boston on Dec 09. I loved that city.
