What's keeping Asians from the top echelons of corporate America? This session will examine how sponsorship and advocacy are critical to success in large companies, and the implications for Asian professionals. What are the unwritten rules and strategies they need to understand to realize their full potential? Learn what sponsors look for in their proteges and how the sponsor-protege relationship plays a critical role at every career stage."
