ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 returns with stronger regional voice
BUILDING on the success of its impactful debut last year, the ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 (ACMC) is returning to Kuala Lumpur on Oct 1-2 with the quest to unite leaders and practitioners across Southeast Asia for bold leadership and a people-first focus. With the theme Advancing Results, Change Done Right!, ACMC 2025 which will be staged at Wyndham Grand Bangsar promises deeper regional engagement, stronger collaboration and practical insights that go beyond theory into real-world transformation. Organised by K-Pintar Sdn Bhd, a leader in corporate learning and transformation for over 20 years, this year's conference looks to position change not merely as a necessity but as a skill to be honed. 'ACMC 2025 is about equipping leaders and change practitioners to implement change with precision and long-term impact,' envisages the event's chairman and K-Pintar's CEO R.A. Thiagaraja. 'In a region as diverse and dynamic as ASEAN, change cannot be imported, it must be interpreted. And this year, we're moving from awareness to action.' Harnessing resilience What sets 2025 apart is renewed emphasis on ASEAN-rooted strategies, candid conversations and practical applications of change leadership, especially in sectors undergoing rapid transformation. 'We're bringing together global experts and regional practitioners (from England, Poland, Africa, India, Singapore and Malaysia.) to co-create solutions that can work here – not in theory – but in the trenches of actual transformation,' enthused Thiagaraja. 'If we want resilient organisations and empowered communities, we must stop treating change as a checkbox and start treating it as a core discipline.' The two-day conference centres on five topics: (i) Trends & Innovation; (ii) Organisational Culture; (iii) Psychology & Neuroscience; (iv) Change Leadership & Fundamentals; and (v) Digital Transformation. These subjects will be explored through masterclasses, interactive workshops, leadership dialogues and design sprints, thus offering participants practical tools they can apply in real-world settings. Suited for decision-makers, change advocates INTAN (the National Institute of Public Administration) has come on board as a strategic collaboration partner for ACMC 2025 by bringing the perspective of Malaysia's public sector. This partnership reflects the government's continued efforts to drive innovation and build a more forward-looking public service. It is in line with the values of Malaysia Madani which supports new ideas and changes that benefit the people. Very broadly, this year's ACMC is expected to play a role in fostering the development of a long-term, ASEAN-based community of change practitioners. The conference which is in collaboration with the PMI Malaysia Chapter, Institut Koperasi Malaysia (IKMA), PIKOM, GBS, Prosci (US) and other international organisations aims to support the establishment of a sustainable regional ecosystem focused on advancing the profession of change management. As organisations across ASEAN face increasing complexity, speed of change and digital disruption, ACMC 2025 invites leaders, change practitioners and decision-makers to step forward and shape a future that is bold, inclusive and rooted in action. ACMC 2025 is expected to attract 500 participants from across the region. The conference is now open for registration at – July 16, 2025
