This year's conference's theme is “Together for Peace: Sustaining Peace and Stability in the Indo-Pacific Region.
”There will be both larger plenary sessions and more intimate break-out sessions at the conference."
"Participants will take part in vibrant conversations on subjects including peacekeeping operations, humanitarian aid/disaster relief, leadership development, and women's emancipation as well as hear from eminent guest speakers."
