Executive Roundtable with Hon. Kevin Rudd
On September 13, 2018, Asia Society Northern California hosted an Executive Roundtable at the College of San Mateo featuring Hon. Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia and President of the Asia Society Policy Institute. Topics of discussion included the recent resurgence of tensions in Sino-U.S. relations, the rise of technological innovation as a new dimension of the U.S.-China strategic rivalry, and the case for energy security and climate change as a basis for reinvigorated cooperation between Beijing and Washington.
Asia Society Northern California hosts private Executive Roundtable Briefings with industry leaders every month in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Program topics are around headline news, business analysis, and critical issues coming out of Asia. These monthly briefings, launched in September 2017, have grown in popularity to generate wait-lists quickly. Most events are off-the-record to encourage open debate and discussion.
