  • A Note on Respectful Engagement & Open Dialogue

    As we come together for this important gathering focused on Pakistan and the Pakistani diaspora, we recognize that this is a particularly sensitive time for many in our community and beyond, particularly on college campuses. Now, more than ever, it is essential that we foster an environment of respectful, thoughtful, and engaged dialogue.

    The mission of this conference is to provide a positive platform for the next generation of Pakistani Americans—one that encourages meaningful discussions about how our diaspora continues to evolve and contribute to American society. This is about building bridges, celebrating our shared experiences, and shaping a future rooted in opportunity and progress.

    We are committed to maintaining a space where all voices are heard with respect. While open discussion is encouraged, please be cognizant of the risks and impacts associated with your remarks. Registration is open to all, and we ask that every participant be mindful of the current climate while upholding the values of mutual respect and meaningful exchange.

    There is so much that can be discussed when bringing together such a wonderful group of thoughtful minds. But given our limited time together, we encourage all participants to focus their engagement on the scope of the conference to ensure that our conversations remain as productive and relevant as possible.

    We look forward to welcoming you to campus for a dynamic day of learning, networking, and meaningful conversations that inspire connection and progress.
