=== Why ===
{{incomplete}}
One of the main goals of this conference is to provide an occasion for CC communities in Asia and the Pacific to gather together to share experience and discuss common issues and potential projects. They will be given an opportunity to enhance their ties of friendship and cooperation and build new networks with individuals and organizations from various fields at both the international and local level, which will in turn facilitate collaboration within and across CC communities in the region. Furthermore, this event will also provide broader benefits to other parts of the society, by engaging experts and the general public from various areas and giving them inspiration to get innovative ideas and explore new possibilities.
