    APNIC unveils 2025-2026 conference roadmap

    • APNIC 60 (Viet Nam) and APNIC 62 (India) will focus on internet governance, IPv6 adoption, and cybersecurity, drawing 1,500+ experts from 56 economies.
    • APRICOT 2026 marks Indonesia’s first hosting since 2007, while APNIC 62 is India’s first APNIC event since 2012.

    What happened: Major internet governance events announced

    During the APNIC Annual General Meeting (AGM) at APRICOT 2025, the APNIC Executive Council unveiled plans for three flagship conferences across Asia-Pacific. APNIC 60, hosted by VNNIC in Da Nang, Viet Nam (4–11 September 2025), will kick off with technical workshops on topics like BGP routing security and IoT infrastructure, followed by policy discussions addressing IPv4 exhaustion and regional peering challenges. The event’s location underscores Southeast Asia’s growing role in digital economy growth, with Viet Nam’s internet penetration now exceeding 75%.

    APRICOT 2026/APNIC 61, co-hosted by IDNIC in Jakarta (4–12 February 2026), will prioritize climate-resilient network design and submarine cable redundancy, critical for archipelagic nations. Notably, the conference reintroduces Indonesia as a hub for internet innovation after a 19-year hiatus.

    Meanwhile, APNIC 62 in Mumbai (3–10 September 2026), organized with NIXI and ISPAI, aims to tackle India’s rapid 5G rollout and digital divide, leveraging the country’s 900 million internet users. These events align with APNIC’s Partners in Development program, which has trained over 10,000 professionals in network management since 2018.

    Why it’s important: Shaping Asia-Pacific’s digital future

    APNIC’s conferences serve as a linchpin for regional internet stability. With 65% of the world’s unconnected population residing in Asia-Pacific, collaborative policy-making at events like APNIC 60 is vital to bridge disparities. For instance, Viet Nam’s recent National Digital Transformation Program aims to deliver fiber broadband to 90% of households by 2030—a goal bolstered by knowledge-sharing at the Da Nang conference.

    The return to Indonesia and India also highlights emerging markets’ demand for localized solutions. Jakarta’s focus on submarine cable resilience responds to Southeast Asia’s $1.5 trillion e-commerce sector, which suffered $2.8 billion in losses during 2023 cable cuts.

    Similarly, Mumbai’s emphasis on 5G security addresses India’s surge in mobile malware attacks, up 76% in 2024. By convening stakeholders from governments, ISPs, and NGOs, APNIC fosters multi-sector strategies to combat internet fragmentation—a threat flagged in the APEC Digital Economy Report 2025 as risking $340 billion in regional GDP.
