About
Drawing on its strength as one of the nation's pre-eminent educational
and networking links between Americans and Asians, the Asia Society
in Northern California strives to offer fresh perspectives on the
forces and issues that are shaping Asia's relations with California,
Silicon Valley, and the rest of the world.
Through lectures, panel discussions, exhibitions, conferences, cultural
events, and country briefings, the Northern California Regional Center
presents the uniqueness and diversity of Asia to the Bay Area community.
As one of the Asia Society's newest locations, the Northern California
Regional Center is uniquely positioned on the edge of the Pacific
and the entrance to Silicon Valley. As technology and Asia's growth
and development continue to change the face of the world we live
in, the Northern California office presents timely and relevant
forums for enhancing public understanding of these developments
and their impact on the local community. Program focus this next
year will highlight business and policy, technology, and social issues.
