Join Chicago’s Pan Asian American community for the ASIAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH KICKOFF, featuring cultural performances and a program highlighting local celebrations and events taking place throughout the month.

Following the Kickoff, the AACCIL BUSINESS EXPO will highlight the Asian American legal community, bringing together law firms, bar associations, legal clinics, and other legal and business resources serving entrepreneurs across industries.  With recent changes affecting the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, we have also invited members of the Illinois Unified Certification Program (IL UCP) so businesses can connect directly with certifying agencies and receive guidance on MBE/DBE certification and renewal applications.

Lunch will be provided by food vendors from Asian American–owned restaurants, integrated throughout the Expo.

This event convenes legal professionals, business resources, and entrepreneurs across industries for connection and collaboration.
