Experience One of the Largest Gatherings of AAPI Professionals

Welcome to Leadership Convention by NAAAP—where purpose meets possibility.

This year, we invite you to explore the theme of Space—not only as a physical place, but as a powerful act of creation. As Space Makers, we come together to build environments that reflect our values, amplify our voices, and uplift our communities.

At Leadership Convention, you’ll connect with bold thinkers, builders, and leaders who are redefining what it means to lead with authenticity and impact. Together, we’ll co-create spaces where belonging isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected. Where every voice matters, and every story adds depth to our collective narrative.

Join us in transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

This is our time to shape the future—by us, for us, and with us.

This year, Leadership Convention is heading to Kansas City

Rooted in a legacy of innovation and defined by its spirit of connection, Kansas City offers the perfect backdrop for our Leadership Convention—a gathering grounded in building inclusive, transformative spaces.

We’ve partnered with the Loews Kansas City Hotel to ensure your stay is as inspiring as the conversations ahead. Just steps away from the vibrant Power & Light District, the iconic T-Mobile Center, the seamless KC Streetcar, and the acclaimed Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, this modern hotel places you at the center of it all.

Come for the convention—stay for the culture.
