2021 Symposium on Asia-US Partnership Opportunities Begins April 2nd

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kennesaw, GA, April 1, 2021 – The Asian Studies Program at Kennesaw State University (KSU) presents a yearly Symposium on Asia-USA Partnership Opportunities (SAUPO). SAUPO provides opportunities for information exchange, network building, global visibility, and investment both to and from Asia.

Inaugurated in 2011, SAUPO has become the largest Asia-US business conference in the United States. SAUPO enjoys a growing influence in strengthening investments and relationships between Asia and the United States. As a result, SAUPO has received recognition from The White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), Georgia Asian Times, Asian American Heritage Foundation, and Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.

As an interdisciplinary conference, SAUPO presents a global platform for five-way dialogue among business leaders, scholars, diplomats, government officials, and non-profit practitioners. Previous SAUPO conferences and workshops have been a resounding success with outstanding attendees worldwide.

This year, the conference is being held over Zoom. To learn more about the conference, please visit the conference website. For more information on the speakers and the agenda, you can visit their agenda page, or learn more below.
