For many of us, our Convention is the largest gathering of APIs we've ever been a part of. Our mission? To translate this powerful experience into boardrooms, workplaces, and beyond—starting right here. This year, we aimed to empower all our attendees and allies with insights they can carry back home and into their careers. From women’s leadership to mental health and allyship, our sessions offered something for everyone. We watched as attendees left Las Vegas with a renewed vision of a future where API leadership has no limits. Together, we're shaping that future. ? #AscendCon2024 #Ascend #Convention #APIFutures #Leadership #AAPI #API #lasvegas #allyship #women #mentalhealth
