Event Details
Until May, William 'Bill' Strong was co-CEO, Asia Pacific for Morgan Stanley. From his office in Hong Kong, Bill observed what he considers to be the extraordinary opportunities in the region as well as the critical issues its leaders must successfully resolve for this bright future to be realized.
The problem is several persistent fundamental issues any one of which could materially impair the region's future. Despite the solutions being difficult to adopt and implement, Bill is hopeful that the leaders of Asia Pacific will not lose sight of the future and that the 21st Century will indeed be the Asia
Pacific Century.
Plan now to attend this provocative presentation to learn why Bill Strong is optimistic despite growing geopolitical, economic, and commercial tensions.
