About this event
We are excited to announce the 2023 HYSTA Annual Conference will take place on October 14-15, 2023, at the Q Bay Center in San Jose, California. This year’s conference will focus on “Seizing the moment and excelling together!”.
​
These are challenging times, but the Chinese-American community is more determined than ever to excel in their leadership and entrepreneurial contributions to society. This mission has united leaders from various industries to share insights at previous conferences, including Jack Ma, Co-founder and Former Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, Jerry Yang, Co-Founder and former CEO of Yahoo Inc., and Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Sinovation Ventures. We believe that by connecting, learning, and working together, we can overcome these challenges, advance our goals, and create a better future for all.
