Annual Regional Conferences
The purpose of the conferences is to: provide a unique learning opportunity through lectures, workshops, forums and cultural performances; focus on retaining Taiwanese identity while living in the United States; encourage student activism on campuses, as well as in the greater Taiwanese American and Asian American arenas; and promote life-long friendships and a strong Taiwanese American network. Typical events include traditional Taiwanese Night Markets, variety shows and a party to celebrate the end of the conference. There is traditionally one conference in each region per year and the location of these conferences rotates to different schools. Typically the conferences take place between February and April. Schools bid for the conference more than a year prior to the actual event and the winners of the next year's conference bid are announced at the annual conferences.
