Events
Founded in 2019, we have hosted over 50 events, featuring 150 speakers and attracting more than 12,000 attendees.
​
We started with monthly meetups focused on specific topics such as photography, architecture, fashion, and more, establishing a safe space to share stories, inspire one another, and foster collaborative opportunities.
​
In 2022, we transitioned to hosting the annual Asian Creative Festival to amplify the AAPI community and celebrate our culture and creatives. The festival, held in New York City during AAPI Month, features talks, creative markets, film screenings, performances, and art projects.
