Conference Highlights
Opening Keynote: Geoffrey K. See, Founder & Managing Director, Chosen Exchange
"Bringing Bain & Co. to Pyongyang"
Providing economics and entrepreneurship training in North Korea is no easy task and a thankless job. One gets to live through purges, intrigue and most painfully, constant parental nagging. Why leave the cushy corporate world, take a 90% pay cut, and put one's life on the line to run Choson Exchange, a non-profit operating in North Korea?

Lenses of Possiblity
From teaching in poverty stricken Yogyakarta, to media training for the United Nations, to being an investment banker for Morgan Stanley, Dean Vrachnos still isn't satisfied. With her trusty wide-angle lenses, she went on to document Indonesia's democracy transition and Timor-Leste transition to independence. Is there still anything she hasn't done?
