Asian Development Bank | May 2012
Abstract
The purpose of this set of highlights from ADB's 2012 Annual Meeting's Knowledge Sharing and Partnership Events (KSPE) is to share a snapshot of the key issues emerging from the KSPE program. Through the various seminars offered during the meeting, we heard from an impressive set of distinguished panelists on the key development and economic issues facing the Asia and Pacific region and the world. By leveraging technology, we provided new opportunities for audience members to become part of the conversation, which resulted in a highly interactive Governors' Seminar.
