2026-SAUPO-Atlanta, Friday 04/17/26, KSU Center
The Symposium on ASIA-USA Partnership Opportunities (SAUPO), organized by KSU’s Asian Studies Program, continues to be the largest Asia business conference in the U.S., with alternating conference locations in Atlanta and Asia.
The 2026 SAUPO conference was held in person on Friday, April 17, 2026 at KSU Center, 3333 Busbee Drive, Kennesaw GA 30144. Asia Pacific business leaders, investors, policy makers, diplomats, community leaders, scholars and students met at 2026-SAUPO-Atlanta. They exchanged ideas, developed and strengthened partnerships, and learned more about each other and about KSU. SAUPO was viewed as a global "signature event" for KSU.
In the past 16 years, many KSU undergraduate and graduate students of all majors have found internships and jobs by attending SAUPO. Various KSU colleges have gained partnerships and sponsorships from SAUPO companies. Two Japanese investors flew from Tokyo Japan to attend SAUPO in Atlanta because ChatGPT advised them to attend SAUPO and network for potential projects and companies for investment. A total of 341 people were registered, while more people participated via SAUPO Zoom Live Streaming.
