Austin Asian Impact Day 2024

Description

Celebrate the Impact of Asians in Central Texas.

Connect with city officials and your fellow business leaders. Discuss community needs and hear new findings about the impact of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community on our regional economy. Make your voice heard and advocate for the Central Texas Asian business community.

With the unbelievably rapid growth of the Asian community in Central Texas, it's important to stay updated on community needs and to connect with those who can help support local business. We're jumping past the usual communication channels to generate open, face-to-face discussion with Greater Austin's civic and business leadership. Join us in advocating for our Central Texas AAPI community. 

This event takes place throughout the morning into mid-afternoon and includes three stops (short walks between each venue) in Downtown Austin.
