2023 WTCA Asia Pacific Regional Meeting

Dear Members,

We are pleased to announce the 2023 Asia Pacific Regional Meeting is going to be held August 9-11, 2023. The meeting will be hosted by World Trade Center Binh Duong New City (WTC BDNC) in Vietnam, one of the fastest-growing countries in the world. As the first in-person APRM after three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will gather Members across the Asia Pacific region to share best practices, discuss future plans, and network with one another. 

With the theme of “Transforming WTC Operations in the Digital Age,” the 2023 APRM will examine the huge impact of technology and innovation on WTC operations across the board from facilities to exhibitions to trade services. Technology accelerated over the course of the pandemic and transformed WTC businesses in both the short and long term. At the same time, the business connectivity and collaboration brought by the global WTCA network is important now more than ever during this transformation. The APRM will feature prominent keynote speakers to address the development and dynamics of technology, and panels of WTC executives from across the region to share best practices in order to succeed in the new digital age.

Further, the meeting will focus on the business opportunities in Vietnam and feature top experts to discuss the current business environment as well as insights and tips on doing business in Vietnam. Becamex, one of the largest and most successful industrial park operators in Vietnam and the parent company of WTC BDNC, will also organize a tour of Binh Duong Industry Park that will demonstrate how foreign companies are thriving with their investments in Binh Duong. Lastly, WTC BDNC will take the opportunity to showcase its facility and services with a tour for all attendees.

The 2023 APRM will offer 3 simultaneous translations on August 10 (in Vietnamese, English and Chinese) for the opening sessions in the morning and 2 simultaneous translations (in English and Chinese) for the WTC session in the afternoon. Livestream access will be provided for the morning session on August 10 so virtual attendees can learn the business opportunities in Vietnam if they are not able to attend the meeting in person.

To encourage participation, the WTCA is offering 50 complimentary registration passes on a first-come-first-serve basis. The complimentary registration only applies to Members from the Asia Pacific region and is limited to two attendees per WTC location. Additional attendees from the same Member location is required to pay the regular registration fee.
