I am very pleased that the annual APAA meeting will be held this year at Busan, South Korea. There is no better location than Busan to hold our first in-person meeting since the pandemic began. The Organising Committee of the Recognised Group of Korea has worked extremely hard to plan what will be a meeting of the highest standard. There have been numerous planning meetings between Catherine Eunkyeong Lee, Chair of the OC, and different groups of members of the APAA ExCom/AdCom to reach this point.

The Busan meeting is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with IP professionals within and outside the Asian Region.
In addition to the 73rd Council Meeting and the working sessions, such as the Standing Committee Meetings and Workshops, the conference program provides many opportunities for IP professionals to meet.

I look forward to welcoming you to Busan.

Greg Munt
President, APAA
