The Pak-Millennium Conference series was launched in 1999 by a group of Pakistanis living in and around the Boston area in Massachusetts. The pre-cursor to the 1999 conference was the "Pakistan Socio-Economic Conference" held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in March 1998. Its success motivated a group of Pakistani professionals and students to institutionalize a forum for constructive debate around issues faced by Pakistan in the new millennium.

Since its establishment highly successful annual symposiums have been conducted under the Pak-Millennium Conference banner. In recent years, these conferences have attracted large audiences and have featured thought-leaders on the development processes in Pakistan, including:

1.	Dr. Akbar S. Ahmad	Anthropologist and Producer, Jinnah: The Movie

The organization itself has been registered as a non-profit entity in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The conference has received wide praise for the quality and content of its programs and is envisioned to continue its annual series of dialogues on development issues relevant to Pakistan.

The success of the Pak-Millennium Conference is a direct result of the efforts of all who have involved themselves in its mission, including the organizers, the speakers, the registrants and the sponsors.
