The Asian Communications Network (ACN) celebrated its second anniversary on 29 October with an evening at the Cinnamon Club in London, bringing together members, mentors, partners and friends of the network.
Founded in 2024, ACN set out to create something its founders wished had existed much earlier: a space where Asian professionals across communications, PR, journalism and marketing are celebrated and recognised for the brilliant work they do. Not as a footnote or side mention, but as the main event.
The evening reflected that ambition. Guests shared great food and conversations that carried on long after they should have, in a room full of people who want each other to win.
Speaking after the event, the ACN team said the night was proof the network is working, not because of anything the founders had done, but because of the people in the room: the mentors who give up their evenings, the members who show up for each other again and again, and the partners who backed ACN before it had much to show for it.
ACN extended particular thanks to its corporate partners, Lloyds Banking Group and Headland, for their early and continued support.
“Looking around the room, it hit us how much talent sits in this network, and how far we’ve all come together,” the team said. “To everyone who came to celebrate with us, and to everyone who has supported ACN over the last two years: thank you. We truly couldn’t do it without you.”
ACN now looks ahead to its third year, with plans to continue growing its community, mentoring programme and partnerships.
