The Asia Game Changer Awards recognizes individuals and groups from every corner of Asia and every walk of life, whose actions have profoundly strengthened the bonds between Asia and the world. In 2021, a time of trauma for the Asian American community, we honor and celebrate that community — those who have inspired the world with their achievements, and those who have seized this moment and brought positive change.

“In this challenging time for Asian Americans, we thought it only natural that our signature global initiative specifically honor the achievement and impact of the Asian American community,” said Asia Society President and CEO Kevin Rudd. “These people have inspired us, and they have inspired their country and inspired the world.”

The evening will feature a special virtual duet performance from former Game Changers, Yo-Yo Ma and Wu Tong, and will honor 6 incredible Asian Americans who are changing the world. Keep an eye on this page for event details, honoree bios, and more.
