Asia Trade Summit 2020: see the early confirmed speakers line up

RSVP today to reserve your seat.
Dear Bhinneka,
The Economist's second annual Asia Trade Summit will analyse the risks and opportunities surrounding trade in the region.

On behalf of The Economist Events, it is my pleasure to invite you, as our complimentary guest*, to attend the summit in Hong Kong.

Join 250+ regional trade negotiators, business leaders, policymakers, academics and economists for a day of rigorous debate and pragmatic insight.
Key questions we will answer:

  • As the global trade model shifts to accommodate changing attitudes and policy towards free trade, automation and digitalisation, who will benefit from such adjustments, immediately and in the medium to long term?
  • What is the future of the WTO? What would happen if there were no longer a viable mechanism for settling disputes? 
  • Are multi-country and bilateral trade pacts the future? 
  • How can businesses react to the shifting legal structures?
  • Is the US-China trade war's impact overrated? 
  • What should the ideal scenario be for Asia trade in 2030? 
  • What is your organisation doing to shape the future for the better? 
 
We look forward to your participation.
Yours sincerely,
Laurel West
