Booking opens for AAPPAC 2026 Hong Kong Conference
Booking has opened for the Association of Asia Pacific Arts Centres 2026 Hong Kong Conference, which will take place from 6–9 October 2026 at the West Kowloon Cultural District.
The conference, titled The Next Act: Shaping the Future, will bring together cultural leaders and performing arts professionals to explore how the sector can respond to global economic pressures, shifting political landscapes and changing audience expectations.
Hosted by the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, the 2026 conference will focus on the role performing arts venues, institutions, ensembles and artists can play in building resilience, strengthening communities and shaping a more sustainable cultural future.
The programme will include discussions on technology, sustainable practice, community engagement, international collaboration and the future of creative spaces. A central theme will be how venues can move beyond their traditional role as performance spaces to become active cultural hubs, supporting creativity, innovation and connection.
AAPPAC members can access preferential rates for the Hong Kong conference, with ticket bundles also available for the Hong Kong Performing Arts Expo.
Early bird passes are available until 31 July 2026.
