Hawaii's Growing Connection with Asia - HVCA/ThinkTech Luncheon on April 25, 2013

Hawaii’s Growing Financial Connection with Asia – our next HVCA/ThinkTech luncheon panel program, April 25th at the Plaza Club.

Asia has the fastest growing economies in the world, and Hawaii stands on the bridge along the way.

For that reason, we have great opportunities to connect with Asia’s financial markets – for reciprocal investments, for currency, equities and real estate markets; for banking, trading, import-export and professional exchanges; and for ventures, partnerships, jobs and careers, both public and private.

As with other Asia connections, we run the risk of being overflown. Are we seizing the day? What steps are we taking to grow our financial connection with Asia, and how well have we done? What else should we be doing to build a long-term financial relationship with Asia and solidify our position on the bridge?

And what do we, and our best and brightest, have to do to get in on it while the getting’s still good.

Come down to our HVCAThinkTech luncheon panel program at the Plaza Club on April 25th and find out.

Our program will feature an illustrious panel moderated by investment manager Veryan Allen of Merrill Lynch and comprised of:

Betty Brow – Executive Vice President, International Banking Division, Bank of Hawaii.
Steven Connell – Chief Investment Officer, Interlaced Investment Advisors.
David Day – Office of David Day, attorney, specializing in international business practice.
