Asia Society

In a continuing effort to encourage deeper appreciation for Asia’s richly diverse cultural heritage in America, Asia Society announces the publication of its second trade title, ASIA IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA: A CULTURAL TRAVEL GUIDE. For information about purchasing the book, please contact AsiaStore at (212) 327-9217.

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.
