Established in 2002, AAEOY is a premier national event dedicated to recognizing and honoring outstanding Asian American professionals in Engineering and Science for their technical and scientific achievements, leadership, and public service. Over the years, hundreds of Asian American professionals from leading US corporations, prestigious research institutions, and the US Armed Forces have been honored with these prestigious AAEOY Awards. In addition, the “Distinguished Awards” celebrate Asian Americans who made global influences, with past recipients including Nobel Laureates, scholars, academic leaders, corporate executives, and astronauts.

The 2025 AAEOY will feature a diverse range of activities, including a conference, technical and cultural tours, a pre‐award dinner, a VIP networking reception, company talent acquisition and recruiting events, exhibition opportunities, and a delightful gala banquet to celebrate and recognize the achievements of the awardees. With your support, we aim to make the 2025 AAEOY a memorable event that honors the achievements of the nation’s influential minds. By recognizing you and your organization’s profound influence, we invite you to consider sponsoring AAEOY to help us continue providing high-quality services and activities to our community.
