Departing from the pandemic years, the 2022 Asia Summit will be a fully in-person event, welcoming more than 1,200 participants, with an online livestream broadcast for all public panels. In-person participants can interact with experts and leaders through a series of networking receptions, private dinners, and exclusive roundtable discussions.

"In recent years, a series of converging macro forces and social changes are transforming the world as we know. From technology and globalization to pandemic response and the rise of artificial intelligence, these forces will continue to shape and reshape every aspect of our lives," said Laura Deal Lacey, Executive Director of the Asia Center. "Asia is at the heart of the transformation that defines the global agenda. With our finger on the pulse, our efforts at the Milken Institute in Asia bring together leaders to share valuable insights and highlight critical conversations on issues affecting the region, which often have global implications."
