2026 Impact Summit, Hill Day, and Gala

The Impact Summit, Hill Day, and Gala is the premier national gathering of Indian and South Asian American changemakers, including elected officials, organizers, advocates, artists, and community leaders, coming together to assert our belonging and act on it.

At a time when immigrants are under attack and belonging itself is being questioned, this year’s theme, We Belong, reflects both where our communities have been and what this moment requires of us.
