The Asian American Expo first opened its doors in 1987 at the Pasadena Convention Center. At the time it was called the Chinese American Expo, with 60 exhibitors and the goal of bringing together businesses and consumers. Since then the show is held annually in conjunction with the Lunar New Year Festival. Having gone through a long history filled with enormous challenge and hard work, the Asian American Expo has made a name for itself as the premiere Asian trade show market across America.
To all exhibitors and visitors, the Asian American Expo features two important significant factors of high influence. First, from the economic point of view, the rapidly expanding Asian population in Southern California is considered one of the most profitable markets to be explored and tapped into. The enormous success of the Expo not only reflects the rapid growth of the Asian influence in Southern California but also the mainstream connection and soaring growth of the Pacific Rim economy.
