U.S.-China relations and the Asian American community stand at a critical juncture. As a leader in these spaces, the Serica Initiative recognizes it is more vital than ever for us to forge powerful partnerships and amplify our impact together — we are stronger together. 

​

The Serica Annual Gala convenes trailblazers, thought leaders, and rising talents to empower and inspire each other along Serica's mission: to galvanize a global community of changemakers to advocate for greater Asian American inclusion and advance positive social impact in U.S.-China relations, through dialogue, storytelling, and our convening power. 

​

Our 2023 Annual Gala seeks to inspire our audience, drawing on Serica's Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) partnerships with leading organizations including The Asian American Foundation (TAAF); our ongoing AAPI film collaborations with PBS/The WNET Group's Exploring Hate initiative in 2022 and 2023; as well as our U.S.-China and Next Gen partnership with China Institute. 

​

Attending the Serica Annual Gala is an opportunity to celebrate your commitment to diversity and inclusion in the U.S.-China space. You will network with an incredibly engaged high-value audience of U.S.-China and AAPI leaders. There will be a pre-event cocktail where we will highlight Asian Booths with Street Food and Culture Booths. This will be followed by a live Gala and awards dinner with entertainment. We seek to inspire our audiences, giving them the chance to learn from and network with top AAPI and U.S.-China leaders.
