World Out of Home Organization announcesSecond APAC Regional Forum
25 July 2023: World Out of Home Organization is to hold its second APAC Regional Forum in November later this year. The Forum will be held in Bali, Indonesia from November 1-3. The first APAC Regional Forum, with over 200 delegates, was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in October 2022. As was the case in Kuala Lumpur we are assured a very warm welcome from our Indonesian hosts.
WOO President Tom Goddard says “Our Kuala Lumpur APAC Forum was an even bigger success than we expected and there has been huge support for another event in an incredibly dynamic region, vital to the development of Out of Home globally. We will be announcing further details shortly.”
WOO has already announced that its next Global Congress will also be held in APAC, in Hong Kong from June 5-7 2024. Its recent Global Congress in Lisbon attracted a record 525 delegates.
Goddard says “All the evidence is that there is a terrific appetite for industry-wide face to face meetings as Out of Home bounces back from the dark days of lockdown. We are already planning an in person African event to take place early in 2024. More details to follow in the coming months.”
