AAPI Professional Summit 2026
2026-05-29 13:30 - 17:00 | City of Austin Permitting and Development Center, 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr, Austin, TX, 78752, United States
This year’s theme, ‘Moving Forward Together’, is inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse. Post-event surveys from past years showed that the majority of attendees were looking for meaningful connections. So this year, we’re designing our programming to build that community and rapport.
For this year’s programming, expect more bridges to be built between different industries and disciplines, as well as more authentic dialogue about the issues that are plaguing our communities.
We understand that not everybody learns and networks in the same way, so we will have both active and passive to connect, including smaller working groups with different topics, opportunities to chat with AAPS organizers one-on-one, and tables dedicated to resources or quiet activities.
Some programming highlights you can expect:
🐎A keynote panel on how to inspire change & mentorship in our communities
🐎Interactive workshops exploring challenges in the AAPI community
🐎15+ non-profits and businesses to connect & network with
In a climate of uncertainty, one of the strongest forces we have is community — and this year, we hope to pull wisdom from our community to find more answers on what comes next and what we can do to keep moving forward together.
We hope you’ll join us in the summit this year, and bring a friend who needs it too.
Agenda:
🏷️ 1:30 pm – Check-in and networking
❤️‍🩹 2:00 pm – Keynote Panel: Healing the past, building the present, designing for the future
Featured panelists include Judge Denise Hernandez, Lau Lau owner Hannah Foy, writer & therapist Sara Bawany, civil rights attorney Andrew Hairston and ACC Board of Trustees chair Sean Hassan.
📱 3:00 pm – Workshop: Solidarity in the Age of AI (Amy Pandit & Minjae Lee)
🎤 4:00 pm – Workshop: Finding our Voice in a World that Tries to Silence Us (Saamiya Seraj, A Better Force)
