2023 Global Talent, Diversity and Inclusion Virtual Symposium

About

Asia Society’s 2023 Global Talent, Diversity and Inclusion Symposium is our annual, signature diversity, equity and inclusion event bringing together Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) talent, allies, business leaders, diversity, equity and inclusion practitioners, grassroots activists, organizational partners, policy influencers and others to discuss how to best support the advancement of AAPI talent both in and outside the workplace – and network!

2023 will be the event’s 15th Anniversary and our theme is “Activating Belonging and Inclusion for All: Allyship with the AAPI Community.” Taking place during the day at Asia Society in New York from 9am to 2:45pm EST, the event (offering both limited in-person registration and complimentary virtual attendance) will feature inspiring break-out sessions, a Career Expo, dialogues, keynotes, networking, and panel discussions providing tactical guidance on how to best improve individual skill sets – both personally and professionally – with a focus on supporting the development and advancement of AAPI professional talent. We will also host discuss what solutions and best practices companies and individuals should explore implementing to better support AAPI talent and other communities within the workplace.

Separate yet related, Asia Society will host an in-person Awards Gala in the evening for the 2023 Asian Corporate Survey at Asia Society in New York from 6:00 to 9:00pm EST! We expect 200 AAPI professionals, senior business leaders, DEI experts and practitioners and allies to come together for one memorable evening as we bestow awards “live” in several categories on select U.S. based companies that participated in the survey for their outstanding commitment to supporting AAPI talent in the workplace. It’s going to be both exciting and exhilarating evening!

The biennial Asian Corporate Survey is a national benchmarking study that explores how U.S. based companies are engaging and supporting the development of AAPI talent. A narrative, analytical report based on the collective corporate submissions for the survey will also be publicly released in conjunction with the Awards Gala.

Registration for the Symposium (in-person participation may be purchased based on availability, virtual attendance will be complimentary) and the Awards Gala that will feature a grand reception and seated dinner (in-person tickets may be purchased based on availability; limited) will open in February 2023.
