Mayors' Forum

"Through a curated session, participants share knowledge, develop situations for issues regarding city governance, and promote the growth and prosperity of cities across the Asia Pacific region and beyond"

"Increasingly cities are leading the way. It is our urban leaders who are innovating and shaping solutions that can shape our lives - how we live, how we work, how we thrive." - Curtis S. Chin, Chair, Asia Fellows of the Milken Institute & Facilitator of the 2025APCS Mayors' Forum

The Mayors' Forum is at the cornerstone of the APCS. It provides an intimate and exclusive opportunity for attending elected municipal leaders to create their own global network of influential peers and learn the latest trends and opportunities in city management.
