About GPT East and Southeast Asia

Established in 2010, GPT East and Southeast Asia includes an in-person symposium and student-led intercultural programming throughout the year with the goal of developing students' cross-cultural professional skills, building a globally minded student network and celebrating cultures across the region. This internationally-focused experience is designed for students interested in pursuing international careers, especially in East and Southeast Asia.

The goal of the conference is for students to gain:

• A stronger cultural and historical knowledge of East and Southeast Asia and its current affairs
• An understanding of communication and professional skills necessary to succeed in new cultural settings
• Knowledge of and strategies for identifying emerging industries and professional opportunities across East and Southeast Asia
