ACELS 17 - Shanghai

The Australia-China Youth Association (ACYA) is excited to announce that our flagship event, the Australia-China Emerging Leaders’ Summit (ACELS) will be hosted in-person in Shanghai, China, in 2024.

Building on the successes of the sixteen previous Summits, ACELS 17 will be hosted in Shanghai, China, in June/July 2024.

ACELS brings together young leaders under the age of 30 for an intensive multi-day educational, networking and developmental experience. As the preeminent youth dialogue for the Australia-China relationship, ACELS is a platform to foster people-to-people exchange and provides an opportunity to learn and discuss the challenges facing the bilateral relationship.
