Each year, the Harvard Arab Alumni Association (HAAA) organizes a conference in the Arab world to bring together alumni of leading universities. The purpose of this annual event is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas about the trends underway in the region, as well as to provide an opportunity for old friends and colleagues to reconnect and for new connections to be established.
This year’s conference offered an inspiring day of presentations and dialogue as we discussed the important trends underway in the Arab world that will play a critical role in “Shaping our Future.” Over the course of four panel discussions, we explored what is being done and what ought to be done to positively shape our future through finance, education, economic development, and the media.
 

The conference in Egypt provided unmatched networking opportunities in the Arab world. This year’s conference was open to alumni and current students of leading universities including Brown, Cambridge, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Georgetown, INSEAD, London Business School, London School of Economics, MIT, Northwestern, Princeton, Oxford, Stanford, University of Chicago, Wharton, and Yale, The University of California at Berkeley
