Activities & Programs

Conference & Exhibition | Training Courses | Experts Meetings

APSCC sponsors a diverse range of events such as conferences, exhibitions, forums, seminars, and workshops to benefit all satellite sectors and other related industries. Events are organized through regional coordination in order to discuss issues that affect the industries, to promote/accelerate the efficient introduction of new services, technologies and applications. Participation in specialized conferences will enable an individual group or company to learn more about the industry as a whole as well as the particular issues and concerns in the region.

Annual APSCC Satellite Conference and Exhibition

- The Asia Pacific Satellite Communication Broadcasting and Space Conference and Exhibition

The Annual APSCC Satellite Conference and Exhibition is APSCC's flagship contribution to the industry. Over the years, the Conference has grown from a biannual event to the largest annual conference in Asia devoted to the satellite industry. It creates a globally integrated platform that covers every sector of the satellite/space industries and provides participants with unique briefing and networking opportunities. In particular, it features the Asia-Pacific Satellite Summit program where major satellite industry leaders participate in roundtable discussions. The discussion topics are designed to foster conversation and debate about the challenges and new opportunities in the fast-moving international business environments.

In 2004, the APSCC Awards were created to recognize organizations and individuals who have made significant achievements and contributions to the satellite/space industries in two categories: the Satellite Executive of the Year Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award. The APSCC Award selection committee decides upon the winners of the awards and the award ceremony is held to pay tribute to the awardees' commitment and devotion to the industries in the region.
