UNSW ASEAN Conference 2020
10 October, 2020
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a regional intergovernmental organization comprising ten Southeast Asian countries populated by more than 622 million people with the third-largest labor force in the world by 2050. However, issues and criticism toward ASEAN’s performance in confronting contentious problems have encouraged and empower the youth to engage and directly involved in a discussion forum. Therefore, the UNSW ASEAN Conference (UAC) established to bring together those who are passionate about igniting change in ASEAN for a brighter future.
The inaugural UNSW ASEAN Conference 2020 utilizes a live webinar from the world-class speaker and panel discussions – to provide a platform and unrivaled opportunity that allow the participant to engage in a discussion forum and build trans-international knowledge exchange.
In response to Covid-19, the change of the annual conference to a virtual format will allow a broader audience to participate in the discourse concerning the economic, political, and sociocultural developments in ASEAN.
