The Asia Pacific Next Generation (APNG) welcomes presentation proposals for the 15th APNG Camp organized by the APNG local host in Manila, Philippines. This online event will run from 25 to 27 February 2022.
About the APNG Camp
The APNG Camp is a venue where future Internet leaders of the Asia Pacific region learn from and work with experts from different sectors. The camp fosters discussion, collaboration, and multidisciplinary research among participants and mentors centered on digital society and its opportunities from Asian perspectives.
The first APNG Camp was held in Bangkok in 2002. To date, fourteen camps have been held successfully. This year, APNG will once again bring together great minds and new ideas—continuing the legacy and mission of the previous camps. Internet leaders and enthusiasts will collaborate on relevant thematic topics and share best current practices in the Asia Pacific region.

Theme
Adapting to the new normal through online learning and e-services in health, education, and entrepreneurship.
For almost two years now, the world has had to do things differently. The COVID-19 outbreak forced educational institutions to shift towards online learning. This emphasized the importance of technology, especially in the education sector. The pandemic disrupted traditional economic activities and created a new world of work. Innovative ways of doing business developed in response to lockdowns and quarantines. Adaptive protocols and apps helped prevent the overload of the healthcare system and workforce. The Internet has been crucial to continued social interactions and services amidst the new challenges around the world.
