AIDI’s Second Annual Gala Grandly Held in New York

The “Hundred Cities Platform
Connects Global Resources as Leadership Transition
Opens a New Chapter of International Development

Xiao Hua Ji, New York Correspondent】

The 2026 Second Annual Gala and Annual Banquet
of the AIDI,
 American International Development & Investment Association

was grandly held in New York City. Entrepreneurs, industry leaders, chapter presidents, investors, and distinguished guests from the fields of real estate development, investment, construction, finance, technology, international trade, AI smart home systems, and robotics gathered together to witness another major milestone in the rapid expansion of the AIDI global platform.

As a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) international non-profit organization, AIDI has experienced remarkable growth within just one year and has established more than 116 city chapters worldwide, connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals across the globe. The organization has become widely recognized as the international “Hundred Cities Association.”

This year’s conference featured high-level roundtable forums focusing on key topics including global trade and the materials industry, commercial real estate trends, diversified global investment strategies, AI-powered smart homes, and robotics technologies. Discussions among leading entrepreneurs and professionals were lively and insightful, fully demonstrating AIDI’s growing influence as a global platform for resource integration and international cooperation.

The atmosphere throughout the event was both grand and energetic, as business leaders and representatives from multiple countries and regions gathered in New York for this important international occasion. Prior to the official opening, congratulatory videos from overseas chapter presidents and U.S. political leaders were continuously displayed on the main screen, generating repeated applause from attendees. The roundtable discussions were also livestreamed globally via Zoom, further expanding the international reach and influence of the conference.

The gala was professionally hosted in both Chinese and English by Robert Song and Diane Cheng. Their seamless bilingual presentation, elegant stage presence, and excellent coordination brought a truly international standard to the event. Their professionalism during the presidential transition ceremony, guest presentations, and panel discussions received widespread praise from attendees.

One of the most significant moments of the evening was the 2026 AIDI Presidential Transition Ceremony. Founding Chairman Andy Jiang delivered opening remarks reflecting on AIDI’s journey from its original vision to today’s international platform spanning 116 global city chapters. Newly elected Global President Bentley Zhao officially assumed leadership and delivered his inaugural speech, outlining future plans to further expand AIDI’s role in international real estate development, technological innovation, AI industry integration, and global resource collaboration.

U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng, Congressman Thomas Suozzi, and New York State Assembly Member Lester Chang were present to witness the important transition ceremony, highlighting the prestige and social influence of the event.

Chairman of the Board Eddie Ni, Chief Supervisor Eric Sun, and other core leadership members introduced AIDI’s executive leadership team, global chapter presidents, and New York chapter representatives. Appointment certificates, trophies, and commendations were presented during a formal recognition ceremony. Representatives from the United States, China, Canada, Chile, Cambodia, Vietnam, Honduras, and other regions appeared together on stage, further demonstrating the global cohesion and international influence of AIDI’s “Hundred Cities” platform.

The conference also featured a dedicated business exhibition area showcasing industries such as smart home technologies, modular construction, window manufacturing, robotics, electrical systems, and real estate development. The exhibition booths attracted strong interest from entrepreneurs and investors seeking international collaboration opportunities.

Notably, the gala banquet itself reflected an exceptionally high standard of hospitality. The organizers carefully prepared a luxurious dinner featuring premium dishes including lobster and lamb chops, all of which were praised by guests for both quality and presentation. Many attendees described the event as “a truly grand international gathering.” At the same time, the raffle segment elevated the atmosphere even further, with prizes including international round-trip airline tickets and high-end home appliances, generating waves of applause and excitement throughout the ballroom.

The event also included congratulatory video messages from U.S. elected officials and overseas chapter presidents, sponsor presentations, and corporate introductions. Major partners including Midea, Air China, IPE Innovative Elevator, New Empire Group, and Windfall Group actively participated, adding significant business networking and partnership opportunities to the conference.

Mr. Ji Xiaohua, Founder and President of Wall Street Television USA and a renowned international affairs commentator, highly praised the event, stating that the AIDI Second Annual Gala was not only a major industry gathering, but also an important international convergence of global Chinese entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and innovators in technology and AI.

Mr. Ji noted that the establishment of 116 global chapters demonstrates that AIDI has already formed the foundation of a truly international platform. The leadership transition, he emphasized, marks the organization’s advancement into a more institutionalized, internationalized, and professional stage of development.

He further stated that amid today’s rapidly evolving global economic landscape and accelerating AI-driven industrial transformation, AIDI has successfully built an important bridge connecting real estate, finance, technology, and international cooperation. If the organization continues to uphold its mission of “connecting resources, fostering collaboration, promoting development, and serving society,” it will undoubtedly play an increasingly influential role in China-U.S. economic exchanges, international real estate investment, AI technology applications, and global industrial cooperation.

The conference concluded successfully with enthusiastic applause and a grand group photo featuring guests from around the world, officially opening a new chapter in AIDI’s global development journey.

【本台纽约讯】2026年AIDI美国国际地产开发投资商会第二届年度大会暨年度晚宴在纽约隆重举行。来自地产开发、投资、建筑、金融、科技、国际贸易、AI智能家居等领域的企业家、行业领袖、分会会长及嘉宾齐聚一堂,共同见证AIDI全球平台快速发展的重要时刻。

AIDI作为美国注册的501(c)(3)国际非营利组织,经过一年快速发展,已在全球建立超过116个城市分会,连接世界各地企业家、投资人和专业人士,被誉为国际“百城会”。本次大会围绕全球贸易与材料行业、商业地产走势、全球多元投资趋势、AI智能家居与机器人等热点议题展开高规格圆桌论坛,现场嘉宾互动频繁,观点精彩纷呈,充分展现了AIDI链接产业资源、推动国际合作的强大平台价值。

大会现场气氛热烈隆重,来自全球多个国家和地区的企业家与行业代表汇聚纽约。活动开始前,大屏幕连续播放来自海外会长及美国政要的祝福视频,现场掌声不断。圆桌论坛通过Zoom同步直播,进一步扩大了大会国际影响力。

大会由Robert Song与Diane Cheng中英文双语主持。两位主持人台风稳健、配合默契,中英文切换自然流畅,既展现出国际化大型论坛的专业水准,也有效带动了全场氛围。尤其在会长交接、嘉宾登台及圆桌论坛等重要环节中,两位主持人的节奏掌控与现场互动获得与会嘉宾广泛好评。

本次大会的重要环节之一,是AIDI总会2026届会长交接仪式。创会主席Andy Jiang发表开场致辞,回顾AIDI从最初构想到如今全球116个城市分会的发展历程。新任总会会长Bentley Zhao随后正式接棒,并发表致辞,表示未来将进一步推动AIDI在国际地产开发、科技创新、AI产业融合及全球资源整合方面的发展布局。

美国国会议员 Grace Meng、Thomas Suozzi,以及纽约州议员 Lester Chang 等嘉宾共同见证这一重要时刻,彰显大会规格与社会影响力。

总会理事长Eddie Ni、监事长Eric Sun等核心领导分别介绍AIDI核心团队、全球分会会长及纽约分会骨干成员,并举行聘书、奖杯及证书颁发仪式。来自美国、中国、加拿大、智利、柬埔寨、越南、洪都拉斯等国家和地区的分会代表共同亮相,进一步体现AIDI国际“百城会”平台的全球凝聚力。

大会现场还特别设置了企业展示专区,包括智能家居、装配式建筑、门窗制造、机器人科技、电力系统、地产开发等多个产业展位,吸引众多企业家驻足交流洽谈。

值得一提的是,本次大会晚宴规格极高,主办方精心准备了丰盛晚宴。龙虾、羊排等高规格主菜陆续上桌,菜品分量充足、品质上乘,赢得现场嘉宾一致称赞,现场不断有人感叹“真正的大场面、大手笔”。与此同时,抽奖环节更将晚宴气氛推向高潮。包括国际往返机票、高端家电等奖品不断送出,现场欢呼声与掌声此起彼伏,充分展现大会热烈欢乐的国际交流氛围。

大会还特别安排国会议员祝贺视频、海外会长祝福视频、赞助商致辞及企业推介环节。美的、国航、IPE创新电梯、新帝国集团、Windfall集团等合作伙伴积极参与,为大会增添商业合作与资源对接亮点。

美国华尔街卫视的创始人、总裁、著名国际事务评论家季小华先生高度评价指出:AIDI第二届年度大会不仅是一场行业盛会,更是全球华人企业家、地产开发者、投资人与科技创新力量的一次重要国际集结。116个城市分会的布局,说明AIDI已经具备国际平台雏形;新老会长交接,则标志着这一平台进入更加制度化、国际化、专业化的新阶段。

季小华先生表示,在当前全球经济格局深度调整、AI与产业升级加速发展的背景下,AIDI搭建起了一个连接地产、金融、科技与国际合作的重要桥梁。未来若继续坚持“连接资源、促进合作、推动发展、服务社会”的宗旨,AIDI将在中美民间经贸交流、国际地产投资、AI科技应用以及全球产业合作中发挥越来越重要的作用。

本次大会在热烈掌声与全场大合影中圆满落幕。AIDI也由此正式开启全球化发展的全新篇章。
