CEO Meetings

29th CEO Meeting atLahore, 2016

CEOs of member TPOs gather once a year to discuss timely issues regarding international trade promotion and other relevant matters, including the results of joint projects and plans for future events. The meetings are organized and planned (including venue choice, date, agendas, etc.) by the current year's chair/host (a position that rotates annually among member TPOs) . The last CEO Meeting (36th) was held in Manila in October 2023 by CITEM (Philippines).

Working Level Meetings

Prior to each year's CEO Meeting, JETRO hosts a Working-Level Meeting (WLM) to provide an opportunity for member TPOs to confirm the status of joint projects, exchange views and settle details related to the CEO Meeting. Between 2011 and 2018, the meetings were held in the cities where JETRO opened a new regional office. The last Working Level Meeting (31st) was held online in July 2023.

The joint exhibition's objective is to provide companies in the Asia-Pacific region with a practical and effective platform to explore business opportunities in the internal market and to promote closer working cooperation among member TPOs. ATPF set up a specialized committee of exhibitions, ATPF Exhibition Industry Committee (AEIC), in order to strengthen ATPF's effort in joint exhibitions. The ATPF Joint Exhibition has been held every other year since 2004. The 9th Joint Exhibition was held at “AAHAR The International Food & Hospitality Fair” in New Delhi in March, 2023.
