Stanford Asian Pacific American Summit 2027

Together We Rise: Writing the Future of Asian Pacific America 

 
 

May 14-16, 2027 in New York City

Civic action is sparked in many ways. Stanford alumni are uniquely positioned to ignite the flame by drawing upon their diverse talents in arts and culture, sustainability and entrepreneurship, or technology and government innovation. Shaped by our distinct perspectives as Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, we come together as alumni to ask: How do we unite our voices, our capabilities, and our aspirations to co-write what it means to be American in the 21st century?

Join us at the 2027 Stanford Asian Pacific American Summit to reconnect with classmates, grow your Stanford network, find new friends and allies, and take action on local and national challenges. The weekend’s programming will consist of:

  • Friday, May 14: Activities & welcome reception (optional)

  • Saturday, May 15: Main summit program featuring alumni speakers, breakout panels, and performances, followed by a closing reception

  • Sunday, May 16: NYC group tours & activities (optional)

Look out for further details on programming, how to register, ticket pricing, and where to stay in the coming weeks and months. We hope you’ll join us at SAPAS 2027! Rising together, we can redefine the meaning of Asian Pacific America.
