In addition, Ascend will be hosting a picnic in Central Park on Saturday, 10/22.  The picnic would be a good opportunity to learn more about Ascend and meet some of its members. Ascend includes many Asian American professionals in the corporate sector and AABANY members who wish to network with Asian American professionals might wish to attend.  Click here for more information.

Ascend is the premier non-profit professional association dedicated to enabling its members, corporate partners and the community to realizing the leadership potential of Pan-Asians in global corporations.

The theme of the convention is “Competing in a Borderless World."  It takes place at the New York Hilton.  Although the organization and event seem to be geared towards APAs in the corporate sector, "aspiring professionals, managers and executives, at all levels, in any industry” are encouraged to attend.  For lawyers to network with other professionals is not a bad idea.  A Corporate and Career Fair takes place all day on Monday.  It might be worth checking out.
