COVID-19 has had huge impact on our traditional in-person conferences. In 2021 & 2022, the conference was totally re-engineered to be fully digital.
We missed networking in digital conferences. This conference in Nepal in November 2023 with the participation from all member countries will be the first opportunity for us to meet face-to-face after 3 years.
These include:
The COVID-19 has caused the political, economic and social disruptions with new challenges emerging.
