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 Australia’s capital city and the home of Australian democracy, Canberra.

Building on the successes of the fifteen previous Summits, ACELS 16 will be hosted in Canberra, Australia in July 2023.

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.
