The Power of Networks
Themed 'The Power Networks', the 8th edition of AVPN’s Conference will focus on the impact that networks can bring to advancing global agendas and changing the status quo. Leveraging the convening and influential power of networks has become more important than ever in order to address the pressing global issues that no one organization, country or individual can solve alone.

Testimonials
"We were one of the first foundations to support AVPN, and so far we feel very positive about that investment. When I looked out at the size of the crowd (at the AVPN Conference 2019), I can't believe that this is brought together by an organisation that is still very young and I think you are a magnet in this region."
Christine Heenan
Vice President,
Global Policy & Advocacy,
The Rockefeller Foundation

Wellington Pak
Head of Strategy and Innovation,
