ePIC APAC Summit 2026

Join us at Deakin Downtown, Melbourne, on 27–28 August 2026 as we advance global thinking on recognising all forms of learning and accelerate Open Recognition across the Asia-Pacific - transforming good practice into coordinated change under a simple premise: All Learning Counts.
