This year’s Summit program brings together South Asian leaders, advocates, and allies from every corner of the country—and there’s something for everyone.

On September 17, join Impact and a coalition of partner organizations for South Asian Day on the Hill — a day of advocacy where Summit attendees will meet directly with their members of Congress.

We’ll provide training, talking points, and all logistics — you just show up ready to advocate for our communities.

Training and Hill Day activities are only for participants who signed up prior to the August 27th deadline.

The Impact Summit & Gala is intended to be both a professional and celebratory gathering. All participants — including guests, staff, volunteers, and organizers — are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct in order to ensure a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone.

Respect and Inclusion

All individuals must be treated with dignity and courtesy. Harassment, discriminatory remarks, offensive jokes, or any other behavior that undermines the respect and inclusion of others will not be tolerated.

Professional Environment

This event is both a professional and community gathering, and all interactions must remain appropriate and respectful. Consent is essential, and personal boundaries must be honored at all times.

Engagement and Disagreement

Differences of opinion are a natural part of dialogue, but they must be expressed with civility and openness. Ideas may be challenged, but individuals must never be attacked. Speakers and performers must be treated with respect at all times, and their presentations should not be disrupted by hostile or dismissive behavior.

Privacy and Media

The privacy of fellow attendees must be respected. Participants should not photograph, record, or share images of others without their explicit consent. Discretion is expected when posting about the event on social media or other public platforms.

Alcohol and Conduct

If you choose to drink, do so responsibly and remain aware of your behavior. Intoxication that disrupts the event or causes discomfort to other attendees will not be permitted and may result in removal from the event.

Reporting Concerns

Any participant who experiences or witnesses misconduct is encouraged to report the matter immediately to Impact staff or security. All reports will be taken seriously, addressed promptly, and handled with discretion.

Enforcement

Organizers reserve the right to take any action deemed appropriate in response to violations of this Code of Conduct, including removal from the event. Severe or repeated violations may result in restrictions on participation in future Impact events.
