25th Anniversary of
the Sino-American Cultural Arts Foundation
 & Cultural-Tech Innovation Symposium in New York

On August 17, 2024, the 38th floor of the Virgin Hotel in Manhattan, New York, Hosted the grand celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation, along with the Symposium on Cultural and Technological Innovation.

The event  officially began at 5:30 PM. This gathering  not only reflect on and give thanks for the achievements in cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the United States over the past 25 years but also served as a milestone for the future integration
of culture and technology.

Since its establishment in 1999 by Mr. Wang Pei, the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation has been dedicated to promoting cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the United States. As the founder, Mr. Wang Pei, one of New York's most respected politicians and educators, was the first Chinese-American congressman to advocate for Chinese rights in Congress. His visionary leadership laid the foundation for the organization's global influence in the cultural and artistic fields. Over the past 25 years, cultural and artistic advocates from around the world have contributed to the fusion and development of Sino-American culture on a global scale through selfless charitable donations and active participation. We owe special thanks to these pioneers in the cultural and artistic sectors. Their dedication has not only brought Sino-American culture to the global stage but has also furthered the cultural exchange between the two countries by organizing hundreds of large-scale exhibitions and events.

As the Chairman of the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation, Mr. John Lam has provided unwavering support for this cause over the years. Mr. John Lam, one of New York's most esteemed entrepreneurs, owns 45 hotels and buildings in Manhattan and is the founding president and chairman of the American Hotel Chamber of Commerce. He also owns the Virgin Hotel, a top brand admired by elites in the high-tech world. He is a model for generations of Chinese immigrants striving in New York. His leadership and strategic vision have led the foundation to remarkable achievements in the cultural and artistic fields and laid a solid foundation for the successful hosting of this event. The Virgin Hotel's hosting of the event also reflects Chairman John Lam's relentless pursuit and dedication to the cause of culture
and the arts.

Appointment of the New President:
Continuing the Mission, Pioneering the Future

A key highlight of the event will be the appointment of Mr. Zhang Hengyuan as the new President of the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation. Over the past decade, Mr. Zhang Hengyuan has made significant strides in the global Tech 3.0 revolution, Web3 new technologies, the Metaverse, and AI promotion and application, opening new horizons for the marriage of culture and technology, creating new economic growth spaces and market value. He has long been committed to integrating culture with technology and promoting its global dissemination and application. His leadership will inject new energy into the foundation and foster the deep integration of culture and technology.

Deep Dialogue Between Culture and Technology:
The Path of Future Integration

Another key segment of the celebration is the "Cultural and Technological Innovation Symposium," which will focus on how to organically combine culture and technology to drive greater business achievements. Culture, as a vital expression of business, gains even greater significance in the context of globalization. Technology represents the pinnacle of business achievements, while culture serves as its spiritual core. The integration of the two will create new development opportunities.

Mr. Zhang Hengyuan has been specially invited to chair the symposium. As the President of the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation, Mr. Zhang Hengyuan will continue to lead the foundation in deepening the integration of culture and technology. He will share his extensive experience in this field and explore how Chinese culture, supported by technology, can achieve new breakthroughs on a global scale.

Looking Back and Forward: 25 Years of Cultural and Artistic Achievements

Over the past 25 years, the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation has successfully hosted hundreds of cultural and artistic exhibitions and events, attracting numerous prominent figures in the cultural and artistic sectors. These events have not only showcased the rich heritage of Sino-American culture but also conveyed the charm and value of culture to global audiences through charitable efforts. This 25th-anniversary celebration is not only a reflection of past achievements but also a look forward to future developments.

Driven by the Sino-American Cultural and Arts Charity Foundation, we look forward to continuing to promote the global dissemination and development of Sino-American culture and arts through the integration of culture and technology in the years to come. We sincerely thank everyone for their support and participation in advancing this great cause to new heights.
