COVID-19 UPDATE: POSTPONEMENT of 2020 Asia Pacific Social Innovation Summit
In light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 outbreak and of our commitment to safety and well-being of summit participants, speakers, global partners and our staff, we have made the difficult decision, in consultation with the government, local authorities in Taoyuan and other key stakeholders, to postpone the 2020 Asia Pacific Social Innovation Summit. The new dates are set to be August 29–30, 2020. As the global circumstances are constantly changing, we are monitoring closely and will keep you informed with further development as needed.
The Asia-Pacific Social Innovation Summit not only inspires the regional stakeholders and creates impact in the region, but also acts as an indispensable and important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, we sincerely invite you to join us on August 29th and August 30th to participate in this year’s Asia-Pacific Social Innovation Summit. Thank you again for your understanding and support!
If you have already registered as a participant, we will automatically reserve the ticket for you to attend the Summit in August. However, if you will not be able to attend the Summit on the NEW DATE, we will offer a full refund without being charged any fee. Please review FAQs for the ticket refund policy. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the secretariat of the Asia Pacific Social Innovation Summit through our official email apsis@impacthub.net, or message us through our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/apsis.tw/.
So far we have been fortunate, proud, and thankful that Taiwanese government has taken swift actions in containing the situation and preventing major outbreaks. For more information on COVID-19, please visit the Taiwan CDC website at https://www.cdc.gov.tw/En.
