The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced today that the Asia Pacific (APAC) Domain Name System (DNS) Forum 2025 will take place 8–9 May 2025, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The event brings together DNS experts and the broader APAC community, and serves as a platform for the regional community to network, learn, and collaborate.
Next year's APAC DNS Forum will highlight the state of the domain name industry from a regional vantage point and provide a perspective on future challenges and opportunities. The forum will be held as a hybrid event to offer attendees the flexibility to attend in person or remotely.
The APAC DNS Forum 2025 will be co-located with the 2025 Contracted Parties Summit, which will convene 5–7 May 2025. The forum will include discussions on the New gTLD Program: Next Round and Universal Acceptance, topics of interest to participants of both events.
Additional details about next year's APAC DNS Forum will be announced later this year and on the event website.
