Associations play a critical role in helping drive the development of knowledge economies. They provide collaborative forums for discussion, knowledge sharing, innovation, discovery and creation. A strong community of associations benefits economic development and growth. Through hosting international conventions, they also help to promote local innovation and exports to a global audience. This session explores how countries across the Asia Pacific are starting to give due recognition to this sector and the initiatives supporting association development. It also looks at what support exists to encourage associations to bid for and host international conventions.
