About Stop At Nothing
"When we set our minds on a goal, we ARE an unstoppable force."
The mission began with countering anti-Asian discrimination, and has since evolved into championing positive, authentic representation of Asian resilience, creativity, and leadership on the world stage.
Stop At Nothing is a reminder to Asian communities around the world of how they’ve been able to achieve success by a combination of cultural heritage, determination, sacrifice and relentlessness in the face of any challenge.
Stop At Nothing' goal is to rally Asian and our allies to inspire a new conversation around core values of shared purpose, values and responsibility.

2025 Themes
Winning Mindset: The Strategy of Success
Winning isn’t just about talent; it’s about aspiration, strategy, resilience and making the right moves at the right time. This panel highlights the calculated, intentional steps we take to break barriers, secure promotions, and claim leadership positions. It’s about mastering the craft, planning the path, and finding the sweet spot to achieve success.
Unstoppable Force: The Mamba Mentality
Inspired by being in the Year of the Mamba, and the relentless, fearless approach of Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality, this panel encourages community to “just do it”--no waiting or hesitation. It’s about pursuing goals and dreams without fear and moving forward with confidence no matter the circumstances.
Rise Above: Strength in Adversity
As DEI efforts face pushback, this theme encourages to rise above the noise and how leaders continue to push forward. The panel provides case studies of how inclusivity strengthens the industry, in creativity, culture building, and the business bottom line. It’s about building a larger, more inclusive space for everyone–because when we grow the industry, we all win.
