US PAN ASIAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HOLDS THE 16TH ANNUAL NATIONAL ASIAN AMERICAN
BUSINESS CONFERENCE IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA
CelebrAsian 2004: "Build Vital Connections" Opens Contract
Opportunities

US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce (USPAACC)
held the 16th Annual National Asian
American Business Conference on May 5-7, 2004 in Irvine,
California. This year's theme, CelebrAsian 2004: Build
Vital Connections, provided a forum where corporate
and government buyers, as well as Asian American suppliers,
met, conducted business and marketed to each other. This is
the largest Asian American business conference in the United
States and the only national conference designed for the
Asian American business community.
"We are delighted to have taken CelebrAsian
2004 to California, home to the largest and fastest-growing
Asian American community," USPAACC National President & CEO
Susan Au Allen said. "The economic strength of Asian
Americans-albeit underutilized-is evident in their
purchasing power and their ability to create jobs. For two
decades, USPAACC has been opening doors of contract and
other professional opportunities to Asian American
entrepreneurs and their business partners in corporate
America and the federal government," Allen added.
CelebrAsian 2004 drew nearly 1,000
participants. The three-day business conference, held
annually in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month, kicked off with a Golf Tournament at the Oak Creek
Golf Club, while the Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) at
the Hyatt Regency Irvine taught how to scale up business
operations to compete for larger contracts. Concurrently,
the Woman Pioneers Symposium (WPS) featured successful woman
executives in government, corporate America and businesses
who shared their experiences on their way to success,
followed by Break Cultural Barriers to Succeed, and
FedEx-Options for Women. The Welcome Reception in the
evening, with U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, was a full
house.
The second day featured Doing Business With
Homeland Security, Corporate Executives Talk Buying
Strategies, and the Import/Export Series. The Supplier
Diversity Managers' Exchange was the first-of-its-kind
interactive program where managers shared best practices and
advice on pressing issues facing Corporate Supplier
Diversity programs. The Mentor-Protégé Program Programs,
sponsored by the National Aeronautics & Space Administration
(NASA), taught small disadvantage businesses and
minority-serving educational institutions (Protégés) skills
on obtaining subcontracts with major corporations (Mentors).
The day concluded with the Volvo-sponsored networking
reception with live music entertainment.
On the final day at the Guanxi *
Breakfast & Plenary Session and the Guanxi *
Suppliers Opportunity Fair (*Guanxi is commonly used Chinese
business term meaning "connections" or "relationship),
participants increased contracts, contracts and business
opportunities with Fortune companies and federal agencies on
pre-scheduled "one-on-one" meetings. The USPAACC/Wells Fargo
finale' , The 16th Annual Excellence Awards & Scholarships
Dinner, provided 17 scholarships and honored seven Asian
American achievers for their contributions in education,
business, science & technology, the arts, public and
community service, with U.S. Small Businesses Administrator
Hector Barreto as keynote speaker.
The 1,000 participants included Asian American
entrepreneurs, senior corporate executives and managers,
White House and high level government officials and a
Cabinet Secretary.
