DEVELOPMENT AND DIVERSITY
The UNSW ASEAN Conference brings together hundreds of students and professionals to spark conversation around emerging issues in the ASEAN region. In 2022, UAC will explore how we can promote inclusive growth within the region whilst preserving tradition and culture, empowering young people to express their voices on issues that matter.
With a keen focus on discussion, audiences will hear from world-class speakers, future leaders, and themselves engage in discussions alongside several hundred attendees. Join the UNSW ASEAN Conference to envision what a multidimensional understanding of progress in Southeast Asia can look like!
