Over 16 ABEs and 40 Fortune 500 Corporations are sponsoring CelebrAsian ‘09. More than 100 Asian American businesses will be represented and over 600 Asian American suppliers and business owners are expected to participate in the three-day Conference.

“We are proud to have a diverse roster of successful Asian American businesses who once again support our flagship event,” said Susan Au Allen, USPAACC Education Foundation National President & CEO. “This Conference is especially designed for them—our ABEs to be able to successfully connect with our partners from Fortune 500 Corporations, the Federal, State and Local government, and the minority community, so that they could succeed in today’s challenging marketplace.”

Allen noted that USPAACC Education Foundation also works closely with Fortune Corporations, the Federal, State and Local government agencies, ABEs and other national minority businesses organizations, such as the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, to form a far-reaching network of strategic resources for small and minority business nationwide. USPAACC Education Foundation has established a network of 12,000 Asian American businesses through its Regional Chapters in Northern and Southern California, New York, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Washington, DC-Maryland-Virginia in the National Capital Area.

CelebrAsian—the oldest and largest pan Asian American business opportunity conference in the United States—connects hundreds of top-caliber Asian American suppliers and business owners with buyers from Fortune 500 corporations, the Federal, State and Local government, and the small and minority business community, through pre-scheduled one-on-one matchmaking business meetings, informative summits, workshops, and networking events.

The Conference will shine the spotlight on the success and achievements of outstanding Asian American businesses, through the USPAACC Education Foundation/Wells Fargo Asian Business Leadership Awards, the Business Leaders and Scholarship Awards Luncheon, and The Excellence Awards Gala Dinner presenting the “Fast 50 Asian American Businesses.”
