Gen A x AKYPA | Relaunch Melbourne: Redefining the Asia Opportunity

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  
hero

Join us for an evening of professional networking with your fellow Gen As, members of Asia Society Australia’s Board and Advisory, as well as members of Australia Korea Young Professionals Association.  

In an era defined by disruption, fragmentation, social distancing, and limited mobility, we explore what an Asia-engaged career looks like. In collaboration with our new youth partner, the Australia Korea Young Professionals Association (AKYPA), join Kaitlyn Hyunjoo Shin, Former Regional Director, RealNetworks Australia, and Jieh-Yung Lo, Director, Centre for Asian-Australian Leadership at The Australian National University, in-conversation with Gen A member Daniel Ha, Director of Partnerships at AKYPA, as they share their experiences of working within the evolving ‘Asia opportunity’ and reflect on how early career professionals can capitalise on their unique set of skills in a fast-changing world.   

Gen A and AKYPA members are also invited to come ready to share their own experiences – social or professional – of connecting with the region as we relaunch this dynamic platform. 

This is a ‘Gen A plus’ session so please register yourself and a colleague. Contact Eloise on edolan@asiasociety.org for further enquiries. 

Date: Wednesday 22 June 2022
Time: 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. AEST
Venue: Melbourne CBD (Details in invitation)

Please note, guests must be fully vaccinated and will be expected to show proof of vaccination status upon entry.
