ANCER Conference 2020: Disruption as Opportunity

ANCER Conference 2020: Disruption as Opportunity

The 4th ANCER Conference was held digitally from 17th September to 19th September along with so much of the way we communicate throughout the world due to the global Covid19 pandemic. While the chance to mingle and catch up with friends and colleagues in person was deeply missed, the virtual conference gave us the opportunity to connect with a more international audience, with participants from over 16 countries in our audience. In addition to the featured speakers and panelists, we also hosted a virtual meeting with our network colleagues from the Mekong Cultural Hub, and a meet and greet with artists of the artist residency A Farm and members of the Ho Chi Minh collective MoT+++ who curated a digital exhibition, One World, specially commissioned for the conference.
