About the Regional Conference
Planning is underway for the next FUSION Regional Conference – a conference for business communicators in Asia Pacific region, one of the most culturally and geographically diverse regions in IABC. Our goal is to connect communicators across APAC and the world to inspire, create connections, foster best practices, and promote leadership in the communications profession.
IABC is grounded in creating connections around knowledge, experiences, ideas and people. These connections drive innovation and enable you, and the communication profession, to rise and be recognized for the contributions you make to your organizations.
