Besides, it will feature a number of table top exhibits for suppliers and industry partners from around the world.
ASAE’s Association Leadership Forum, Asia Pacific is the fourth association-focused program that ASAE has held in the Asia Pacific region since 2015. Since then, ASAE continues to deliver this education program to the associations community in the Asia Pacific region. Now, for the fourth time in 2018, the ASAE is expanding its annual association-powered conference to address strategies on how to build a more robust association and strengthen the association relationships & partnerships internationally.
“We are looking forward to the Association Leadership Forum in Singapore this October. The program will focus on building effective associations as well as discovering practical ideas for association growth, serving members, and building partnerships in similar fields or industries. The Forum is being guided by a strong Advisory Task Force of members from across the region,” said Greta Kotler, CAE, Chief Global Development Officer ASAE.

With the growth of association contributions in the Asia-Pacific region, this Forum provides just the right platform for linking Asia Pacific associations’ international counterparts to connect and network with their peers,” states Noor Ahmad Hamid, Regional Director Asia Pacific, who also sits on the Founding Advisory Board and serves as Ambassador for the ASAE Great Ideas in Association Management Conference.
