AAPI Retreat and Summit

Deeper, better networking happens when you have the time to connect, learn and relax.

This unique retreat brings together entrepreneurs and professionals for an experience that combines networking, personal growth, and rejuvenation. You’ll connect with like-minded peers over thoughtful discussions and enlightening talks from industry leaders, discover new strategies to elevate your business, and deepen your connections through guided tea ceremonies and mindful walks. Learn the art of mahjong, where focus and fun intertwine, and enjoy time to unwind in a tranquil setting. This retreat is a chance to reset, recharge, and leave inspired for your next level of growth.

It’s time to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with yourself. Are you ready to dive in?
