The war with Iran has triggered one of the most significant energy and shipping shocks in decades, sending oil, LNG, freight, and risk costs higher and creating ripple effects across global supply chains. Because so much of the affected energy trade flows to Asia, the disruption carries especially important implications for companies with manufacturing, sourcing, logistics, and commercial exposure in China and the broader region.

This exclusive annual conference will bring together top China experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to tackle some of the most pressing issues affecting US businesses in China today.

Join us on June 17 in Washington, DC, for an evening with leaders shaping the US–China commercial relationship.

GALA 2026 is our signature annual gathering bringing together senior leaders from business, government, academia, and the diplomatic community for an evening of connection, recognition, and invaluable networking.
