This year, APAA was held from 18 – 21 November 2024 in Manila, the Philippines. There were approximately 1360 registered attendees.

The Firm was represented by Mr Ameen Kalani, Executive Director from our Singapore office as well as Ms Oon Yen Yen (Head of Patent and Industrial Design), Mr Andrew Siew (Senior Patent Agent) and Mr Wong Qi Yuen (Patent Agent) from our Malaysia office. Over the course of the 4-day conference, our professionals were provided with a perfect environment to establish connections with new associates and to strengthen working relationships with existing ones.

APAA always strikes the right balance between business and pleasure where participants had the opportunity to indulge in scrumptious local delicacies in the Cove Manila (Cultural Night) – Southeast Asia’s largest indoor beach club and nightclub, and to have ample fun in an art workshop after a tour of the Hills of Antipolo, an adventure at the Masungi Georeserve’s Discovery Trail, as well as sightseeing excursions to various historical, cultural and scenic attractions around The Philippines.

The conference concluded with a memorable Gala Dinner hosted at the Marriot Manila. This elegant event provided a captivating and unforgettable experience and left a lasting impression on all participants.

APAA 2025 will be hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we hope to see you there!
