INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR MANAGING THE ASIAN CENTURY (ICMAC) 2019
From Smart Cities to Future Cities
15-16 November 2019 @ Fairfield by Marriott Kuta Sunset Road, Indonesia
Asia-Pacific retains its reputation as a dynamic growth region for 2019, with ADB projecting a 5.6% growth that will account for approximately 65% of global growth. However, ageing populations, slowing productivity growths and the 4th Industrial Revolution, coupled with the rise of protectionism, geopolitical tensions and cybersecurity threats mean that Asia-Pacific nations require long-term, sustainable policies to stay on their growth trajectories. Increasingly, smart city technologies are adopted by Asian governments, with an estimated $63.4 billion to be invested between 2014-2023 according to Navigant Research. Experts from ADB, IMF, UN, World Bank and Asian governments believe that innovative collaborations utilising renewable energy, big data analytics, IoT and smart urban planning are key to the long-term development of Asian smart cities of the future. The International Conference for Managing the Asian Century (ICMAC) series shares how we can partner to create new models in sustainable growth of nations in the Asian century.

Aim of ICMAC 2019
ICMAC 2019 is built on the successes of previous conferences in Bali (2017, Smart Innovations for Smart Cities of East Asia, 2014, Integrating ASEAN), Singapore (2016, Rise of Smart Cities in Asia; 2013, Managing the Asian Century), Surabaya (2018, Innovations and Technology for Sustainable Development), Kuala Lumpur (2015, ASEAN Entrepreneurs in Technology), and Xiamen (2018, Linking One Belt One Road with Smart Biotech). The seven conferences brought together international investors, Asia and US inventors and innovators, and representatives of Asian governments. The participants came from incubation hubs of Asia, research think-tanks of Europe, and the Silicon Valley USA.
The theme of ICMAC 2019 – From Smart Cities to Future Cities – will host a gathering of like-minded people: international and Asian academics, innovators and representatives of governments. Information technologies and their influences in industry, government and policy planning will be the focus. Digitization trend (past, present and future) will be of particular interest to the participants. The focus is on how Asian nations collaborate on developing inventions and digital innovations for growth across Asia.
We welcome contributions that draw upon contemporary ideas and developments in practices of management, education, organizational development, climate change, financial and economic planning and other areas significant to socio-cultural, environmental and economic development.
