-Returning for its eighth iteration, the Milken Institute Asia Summit aims to
renew and strengthen humanity's shared common goals and secure a more resilient
and equitable future through the power of human connection.
The Milken Institute today announced that the 8th annual Milken Institute Asia
Summit will convene from 15 to 16 November, as a physical event with virtual
components. A dynamic society that seeks to provide accessible opportunities
for all has always been characterized by strong bonds among everyone living in
it. This year's Asia Summit casts a spotlight on The Power of Human Connection,
bringing together high-level business executives, government leaders,
philanthropists, subject-matter experts, academia, and futurists from all over
the globe to amplify the efforts building a sustainable, equitable future for
all people in the Asia-Pacific region.
The event is slated to take place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Singapore,
hosting up to 250 participants in-person. Attendees are expected to follow safe
distancing guidelines and rules established by the Singapore government.
Similar to the 2020 Asia Summit, participants can anticipate an interactive
event format with in-person sessions, virtual content, and several
topic-specific private roundtables. The Milken Institute is also a network
partner for the inaugural Philanthropy Asia Summit and a knowledge partner for
the Singapore Fintech Festival which will take place during the Singapore Week
(November 15 – 19).

"As the global economy emerges from the pandemic, our connections with one
another have never been more critical to fast-tracking the re-emergence of a
robust and thriving society," said Laura Deal Lacey, Executive Director of the
Milken Institute Asia Center. "At the 2021 Asia Summit, we aim to serve as a
nexus to convene participants to discuss collaborative solutions by
highlighting the power of human connection in rebuilding an equitable and just
society."
"As we've seen over the past year, it is crucial for governments, businesses,
and private organizations to remain connected and collaborate with each other
to overcome challenges presented by the pandemic crisis," said Richard Ditizio,
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Milken Institute. "The 2021 Asia
Summit will convene top experts, leaders, and innovators from Asia and around
