Dear AVPN members,

In 2016, we are looking to discuss “How has Social Investing Impacted Asia?” Our conference is now into its 4th year, and we are taking stock of the social investing market in the past years from when it was just a concept in Asia. Has there been real progress? Has the needle really moved? Is there a market here for all stakeholders? What else needs to be done? We will review these questions through our country sharing sessions by members, break-outs on key issues in Asia, and the Investment Showcase that will feature members’ successful investments.

Watch out for the line-up of speakers and updated content as we approach the conference date. Non-member registration will start from 15th January 2016 for Early Bird tickets. In the meantime, please do check back to the conference website or regular updates.

Look forward to see you in Hong Kong! Please check http://2016.avpn.asia/ for full details.
