A Special Event & Celebration
Thursday, October 27, 2016
6 pm Reception | 7 pm Dinner | Cocktail Attire or National Dress
United Nations

This fall marks the third year of a truly impactful Asia Society event — the Asia Game Changer Awards and Gala Dinner at the United Nations.

Asia Society will honor the dreamers and leaders of our world making a positive impact on the future of Asia. The Asia Game Changer Awards are designed to fill a vital gap, identifying and honoring true leaders making a positive contribution to the future of Asia.

These inspiring men and women represent the spectrum of achievement – those who have led from positions of power, as well as those who have done so from ground-level laboratories of innovation.

This year, we honor I.M. PEI — revered global architecture icon — with our 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award.
