What is ACELS 13?

The Australia-China Emerging Leaders' Summit (ACELS) is ACYA's signature event, uniting and enriching a new generation of Australia-China literate leaders.

ACELS 13 will be held over four days, bringing together 90 delegates to discuss highly topical issues in the Australia-China space. Under the theme of Bridging the Gap, participants will undertake an intensive four-day program of professional and personal development, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of our two nations and genuine people-to-people connections. This includes engagement with business, diplomatic, academic leaders, a variety of panels, workshops, and seminars, and – of course – an array of cultural and social events.
