As Asia emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, what does the future hold for the region? There is an urgency to this question, as there is less than a decade to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the pandemic has paused or even pushed back hard-won achievements.

The AVPN Conference 2022 will bring together a diverse group of funders and resource providers, from philanthropists to investors, corporates to policymakers, and researchers to entrepreneurs, who will meet in person for the first time in 2 years to reflect on the new landscape ahead and share ideas, solutions, and opportunities for The Asian Decade. 

In partnership with Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, AVPN will engage in strategic and systemic dialogues through the conference around how to transform economies in Asia in the lead-up to the G20. The high-level discussions at the conference will be reported to President Joko Widodo and included in the main agenda of the G20 in October 2022.

The conference, which is organized by the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network, is the largest social investing forum in Asia.
