Message from the Board Chair to Conference Organizers

The APMAA Annual Conferences are the heart of our organization. For our members, participating and presenting at an annual conference is a valuable and rewarding experience, fostering academic exchange and creating lasting memories.

Each year, the APMAA Board nominates the co-hosting institutions and appoints the head of the local conference organizing team. While the appointed head is entrusted with significant authority to lead conference preparations, the ultimate responsibility for planning, organizing, and promoting the conference rests with the APMAA Board.

Collaboration with the Board

The appointed conference team head is expected to work closely with the Board in designing and developing the conference framework. Academic Paper Sessions must remain the focal point of all APMAA conferences. To ensure continuity and consistency, the Board strongly recommends using the APMAA 2018 and/or 2019 conference programs and schedules as base templates. This approach helps maintain the integrity of APMAA’s mission over time.

Regular Progress Reports and Approvals

The local conference team head is required to report progress regularly to the Board Chair. Additionally, any official communications or publications using the APMAA name must receive prior approval from the Board Chair.

This approval process has been instrumental in fostering trust within the academic community and has played a key role in APMAA’s growth over the past decades.

Orientation for Future Organizing Teams

I encourage all future conference organizing teams to visit the APMAA Homepage as early as possible to familiarize themselves with the association's philosophy, vision, activities, rules, regulations, and history. Understanding APMAA’s foundational principles is critical to successfully executing the conference’s objectives.

Conference News Drafts and Board Nominations

For the 2021, 2022, and 2023 conference organizers (Jakarta, Bangkok, and Xi’an), I request that you prepare a draft of the first issue of the "APMAA Conference News" and bring it to the 2020 Board Meeting as well as the Next Conference Organizers Meeting.

These meetings provide a valuable opportunity for key members of the conference organizing teams, APMAA headquarters, and the Board to meet and engage in face-to-face discussions, which are essential for ensuring the success of the conference.

Quality Control Committee Meeting

APMAA Annual Conference Policy and Mission

APMAA is a "members-first" organization, and our annual conferences serve as the central platform for bringing together our members. Every member is a potential contributor and key participant in these conferences.

It is the responsibility of each conference organizer to design programs and schedules that are "of the members," "by the members," and "for the members." Academic paper sessions should be the heart of every APMAA conference. This principle is a cornerstone of our policy and a key expectation set by the Board.

As an international academic association based in Asia, one of APMAA's primary missions is to provide regional researchers with an accessible platform to share their research with colleagues worldwide. Unlike traditional conferences where reviewers solely assess submission quality, APMAA reviewers also serve as facilitators, fostering research development and competence. This collaborative approach is central to APMAA’s mission.

Introducing a Quality Control Function

APMAA has observed significant variability in the quality of papers submitted to its parallel sessions—ranging from exceptional research suitable for top-tier academic journals to papers with substantial content and writing deficiencies.

To ensure that the research presented at APMAA conferences is rigorous, accurate, and reliable, APMAA must implement effective quality control measures. However, the experience, skill level, and commitment of local scientific committees—responsible for reviewing papers—vary each year.

To address this, APMAA established the "Scientific Committee at Headquarters" in 2018, which was restructured into the Quality Control Committee in 2020. This committee plays a critical role in pre- and post-conference audits to uphold academic standards.

Reorganization of the Scientific Committee into the Quality Control Committee

The Scientific Committee at Headquarters was initially formed to assist local conference teams in maintaining the integrity and reliability of manuscripts included in the conference proceedings. In 2020, it was restructured into the Quality Control Committee, expanding its role to conduct annual audits before and after each conference.

The Quality Control Committee ensures that conference programs and schedules align with APMAA’s mission and policies. The APMAA Board requires all conference organizers to follow the Model Program and Schedule developed on December 11, 2019, as a framework. This model ensures consistency across conferences and organizing teams.

Auditing Role of the Quality Control Committee

The Quality Control Committee is responsible for auditing:

  1. The appropriateness of the conference program and schedule in alignment with APMAA’s policy and mission.
  2. The structure and function of the local organizing team.

All approved conference organizing teams are required to submit their conference plans and supporting materials to the Quality Control Committee upon request. The committee reviews these materials and submits a brief audit report to the Board Chair. Additionally, the committee assists in preparing for the Next Conference Organizers Meeting.

Expectations for Conference Organizing Teams

Conference organizing team Chairs are expected to report their progress regularly to the Board Chair. Any official releases or publications using the APMAA name must receive prior approval from the Board Chair.

This system has been instrumental in building and maintaining trust within the academic community and has been a key driver of APMAA’s growth over the past decade.
