SUMMARY:Conference: The New Asian NYC: Mobilization\, Grassroots Power & Pluralistic Futures
DESCRIPTION:Exploring grassroots power & Asian American futures in NYC after Zohran Mamdani’s historic election.\n\n\nThe recent election of Zohran Mamdani—the city’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor—marks a historic shift in New York City’s political landscape. This victory stands not only as a milestone for AAPI and Muslim representation but as a testament to the power of grassroots\, working-class organizing. While often characterized as the “Mamdani Moment\,” this campaign’s trajectory from just 3% in early polling offers a profound case study in the collective “social technology” of door-to-door engagement and the merging of diverse identities. \nBuilding from this watershed moment\, AAARI’s 2026 symposium\, The New Asian NYC: Mobilization\, Grassroots Power & Pluralistic Futures\, invites a deeper conversation about what such victories reveal—how they reshape understandings of Asian American identity\, highlight the intersections of class and race\, and chart evolving strategies for civic engagement in an increasingly polarized era.

SUMMARY:CryptoAI Summit 2026: The Singularity is Here?
DESCRIPTION:CryptoAI Summit 2026 is the premier forum exploring the strategic convergence of AI and Blockchain\, organized by Bitpush and China Institute of America. In 2026\, as speculation gives way to utility\, we move beyond the noise to examine the AI revolution. The summit dissects global competition\, the recalibration of market valuations\, and the structural tensions between unprecedented efficiency and the systemic “bubbles” of rapid automation. Simultaneously\, the summit deconstructs the maturing Crypto landscape. We analyze the evolution of institutional market cycles and the definitive shift toward real-world adoption and on-chain financial logic. By bridging these two forces\, the summit investigates whether the union of AI and Crypto is a fundamental necessity for decentralized intelligence or a critical alignment for the next era of global digital infrastructure. \nCI members can receive a complimentary ticket with code CIFREE. Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\nConference Schedule \n\n\n\n14:30\nRegistration & Networking\nConnect with industry pioneers and visionaries to kick off the summit.\n\n\n15:00\nOpening Remarks \n\nMay Liu\, Managing Editor\, Bitpush\n\n\n\n\n15:30\nPanel Discussion #1 AI Is Taking Over——And We’re Letting It \n\nSusan Feng\, Director of Programs\, China Institute of America (moderator)\nDr. Tao Cheng\, Managing Director at Golden Seeds; former executive at BlackRock\, SVB & Ally Financial\nKen Huang\, AI Book Author\, CEO & Chief AI Officer (CAIO) of DistributedApps.ai\nSeamon Chan\, Founding Partner at Palm Drive Capital\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n16:15\nPanel Discussion #2 Web 4.0 (Crypto + AI): Building the Autonomous Future \n\nKathryn Zhao\, Global Head of Electronic Trading\, Cantor Fitzgerald (moderator)\nDavid Hirsch\, Partner at McGuireWoods & Former SEC Enforcement Official\nHan Liu\, Founder and CEO of BitFi\nChad Liang\, Executive Vice President\, BitMart\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n17:00\nPanel Discussion #3 Crypto’s Next Phase: Stablecoins\, On-Chain Markets & New Financial Infrastructure \n\nMay Liu\, Managing Editor\, Bitpush (moderator)\nKelly Ye\, Deputy CIO\, Avenir Group\nChaz\, Founding Engineer\, Solayer\n\nAdditional speakers to be announced…\n\n\n18:00\nVIP Afterparty & Networking

DESCRIPTION:Discount enjoy $30 off your registration with code BEYOND26 at checkout by April 6! \nBeyond the Algorithm: The Leadership Impact on AI \nFor over a decade\, the Asian American Business Roundtable (AABR) has been the premier forum for leaders to navigate the complexities of a globalized economy. By harnessing the collective expertise of Asian American executives\, AABR continues to elevate the influence and visibility of our community across the U.S. business landscape. This year\, we apply that same strategic lens to the most transformative force of our time: Artificial Intelligence (AI). \nAs AI shifts from a technical frontier to a core business imperative\, the focus is no longer only on what technology can do\, but on how leaders ensure its ethical and strategic governance. AABR 2026 brings together the innovators who are defining these critical frameworks\, moving beyond the algorithm to lead the high-stakes integration of responsible AI across global industry. \nThe Roundtable provides a platform to examine both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with this moment. Join us as we explore how leaders can drive innovation while ensuring ethical implementation\, foster inclusive growth\, and prepare the next generation of leadership in an AI-driven world.
