Midwest Regional Conference

The Midwest Regional Conference is an in-person, one-day event where over 200 aspiring and unique Asians, engineers, students, young adults, and more groups of attendees will gather to expand their professional, cultural, and networking opportunities via workshops, career fairs, and other professional interactions. Our goal is to facilitate an inspiring, engaging, and thoughtful space for Asians to tell their stories.  

The theme for this year’s conference is "steeped in connection!" We hope that participants will embrace the warmth and connection that tea symbolizes in Asian cultures. Just as tea brings people together, we hope this conference will foster meaningful conversations, ideas, and growth.

We aim to create an enriching experience that celebrates our heritage and nurtures both mind and spirit.

VIRTUAL CELEBRATION

Spirit Week

SASE Spirit Week is celebrated on the first full week of November. SASE Spirit Week is an occasion for chapters across the country to recognize SASE’s three pillars and celebrate the founding of SASE.  

SASE Spirit Week had its humble origins in remembering SASE’s birthday (formal founding as a nonprofit organization). What started as a single day celebration by a few chapters on Nov. 8th is now a national week long celebration.
