The World Out of Home Organization is to hold its second APAC Regional Forum 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.
"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,” said WOO President Tom Goddard. “We will be announcing further details shortly."

WOO’s 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.
"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,” Goddard said. “We are already planning an in-person African event to take place early in 2024. More details to follow in the coming months."
