highest per household income, produce over half of the total
receipts of all minority-owned businesses, create half of the

growing group in America. Getting to know them makes good
business sense.

CelebrAsian
Every year since 1984, we have held the only national business
conference designed for the Asian American community as part of
the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebration. To date,
CelebrAsian is the largest annual national Asian American
business conference in the United States. Our annual conference
includes our signature event Guanxi* Suppliers Opportunity Fair,
where prescheduled one-on-one meetings are held between
suppliers and buyers from Fortune companies and government
agencies.
In 2004, over 1,000 such meetings were held where the companies
and agencies met with suppliers to discuss services and products
they would need to procure in the following 12 to 18 months.
