Cultural Harmony Celebration

Join us at Get Konnected!, in partnership with NAAAP for a dynamic cultural and professional gathering honoring the 2026 Lunar New Year and Black History Month. This special event celebrates the Year of the Fire Horse alongside the rich histories, resilience, and innovation of Asian and Black communities—bringing culture, storytelling, and business connection into one shared experience.

​

Guests will enjoy vibrant cultural performances and interactive experiences reflecting the Asian and Black diasporas, setting the stage for meaningful dialogue and celebration. A fireside chat or panel will feature cross-cultural leaders who will share personal stories, insights on leadership, and perspectives on building bridges across communities.

​

The evening will also include both structured and organic networking opportunities designed to foster authentic connections among executives, emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and community partners. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with and support diverse small businesses and entrepreneurs spotlighted throughout the event.

​

In alignment with Black History Month, participants will be invited to sign up for the American Ancestors – 10 Million Names Project, a powerful initiative that helps African Americans discover and reclaim their ancestry through historical records.

​

Get Konnected! honors shared legacies while investing in collective futures, creating a premier platform to engage employees and the broader community in a celebration of culture, connection, and impact.

In the past, we have had Michelle Wu, Mayor of Boston, Reshma Kewalramani, CEO and President of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Julie Kim, President of Takeda’s U.S. Business Unit and Country Head, Lee Pelton, President of the Boston Foundation. ​
