This Year, We're Going Deeper.
By 2025's event, we had almost 300 attendees show up — and they told us what they actually wanted more of: real conversations, real relationships, & real support.
So this year, we're building the Summit around exactly that.
In a climate where budgets are tightening and uncertainty is rising, the most valuable asset you have isn't another credential — it's the person sitting next to you. AAPS 2026 is designed to help you meet the full ecosystem of Austin's AAPI professional community: mentors, community builders, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and allies — and discover how we show up for each other, not just at work.
What to Expect
🤝 Meet the Whole Ecosystem: Not just your industry bubble! AAPI professionals across corporate, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial Austin will be in one room, with programming designed to introduce you to each other.
💬 Conversations That Cut Through: More participation. The kind of exchange where you leave thinking, I didn't expect to talk about that.
🌍 Be Part of Something That Compounds: AAPS is part of a sustained, multi-year effort to build lasting bridges between Austin's for-profit and nonprofit AAPI communities. Your presence isn't just attendance — it's investment.
🥟 Bites & Refreshments Included: Small bites and drinks will be provided, so you can snack throughout the event! (TBD, more details soon)
Built by Community, For Community
AAPS is led by a team of individual volunteers and supported by organizations who believe in what we're building — including A Better Force, The Cultured Chefs, and Dell Technologies' Asians in Action ERG, with additional support from Linh Judin Solutions and the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce (GAACC).
[Additional supporters and sponsors coming soon]
