Assembling Asian Leaders in Advertising through Barriers Summit, a Venture to Empower AAPI Leadership
In a significant move towards promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the advertising and media industries, the Asian Inheritance Association (AIA) is set to host its biggest event yet - the Breaking Barriers summit. This virtual event, scheduled for an upcoming date, is a first-of-its-kind gathering for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) professionals in advertising, communications, and media.
Established 13 months ago, AIA, co-founded by Bernice Chao and Jessalin Lam, has quickly become a significant voice in AAPI advocacy. The organization's rapid growth and impact within the advertising industry are noteworthy, and the Breaking Barriers summit is a significant step in its continued growth.
The summit will feature some of the industry's most prominent advocates, including Bernice Chao, who serves as the head of integrated creative at Zambezi, Cindy Gallop, a renowned keynote speaker, and Stop AAPI Hate co-founders Cynthia Choi and Manjusha Kulkarni.
The two-day event promises to be a platform for panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities aimed at empowering AAPI professionals and confronting challenges specific to their industries. It is an important event within the AAPI community and the advertising industry, marking a crucial step towards fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment.
Jessalin Lam, the vp of membership development and diversity at IAB, is also expected to play a significant role in the event's success. In 2021 alone, AIA hosted 12 events, demonstrating its commitment to AAPI issues and advocacy.
