Welcome to the AMPLIFY Asian Brands Weekend Experience curated by A*E Pop Up during AAPI Heritage Month 2025! Join us in person at City Point – Downtown Brooklyn for a weekend filled with creativity, culture, and community.

We aim to spread joy and inspiration by highlighting the diversity of our community, cultures, and changemakers – creating a physical space for everyone to experience authentic stories about the AAPI identity. We have curated a special weekend program in parternship with AAPI organizations, brands, and sponsors.

ACE (AAPI Creatives & Entrepreneurs) is a collective connecting independent creatives and consumers with an emphasis on supporting emerging AAPI creatives and small businesses.
