The Persians are coming! Don’t panic! We come in peace! The Persians (the primary ethnic group in Iran) have arrived in the USA and have made a stunning and positive impact in the American zeitgeist. Persians in the US have contributed to 6% of the gross GDP and have impacted technology, entertainment, arts, and health.

Persian Tech Entrepreneurs (PTE) has brought two prolific panelists to discuss- Trita Parsi and Maz Jobrani.
