The Harvard German American Conference 2022 offers a compelling opportunity for attendees to connect with leaders from both sides of the Atlantic. QuantCo can attest to the GAC’s impact as many of our current and former colleagues have been speakers or organizers. We therefore want to help strengthen and foster more transatlantic relationships by bringing German students to the Conference.
