The workshop program is tightly focused and anticipates the most challenging regional and transnational security issues and cooperation tasks ahead. These in-person or virtual events serve as a forum for key regional interagency security policy drafters and decision-makers to produce actionable outputs and executable outcomes. This results in unique value-added opportunities for partnering organizations and participants.
In-Region
- A collaborative event conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region that addresses cutting-edge current and/or future security and security-cooperation challenges.
- Designed to produce actionable outputs and executable outcomes, providing unique value to partnering organizations and participants.
- Topics target urgent and important security issues perceived as ‘too hard’ or ‘too new’ to address in a more significant, structured forum.
- Workshops last 2 to 5 days and are typically attended by 30 to 50 participants.
- Participant selection focuses heavily on DKI APCSS alumni, who are included to foster open discussions among new participants and offer alumni continuing education opportunities at a higher level.
- Upon completion, participants will be introduced to various methods of connecting for discussions, sharing information, and fostering cooperation.
In-Resident
In-resident workshops will generally mirror the scope and concept of in-region workshops. Bilateral workshops afford increased honesty and openness among participants when held in residence. In contrast, multilateral workshops typically have broader national involvement as target countries are not limited to a sub-region. In-resident workshops also see greater participation from USINDOPACOM and other U.S. agencies.
