TAC Summit
ABOUT TAC SUMMIT
The inaugural TAC Summit brings together leaders and secretariats of Trade Associations and Chambers (TAC) to discuss key issues, trends and opportunities facing the TAC sector in today’s “Business-not-as-usual” landscape.
To reinforce Singapore's position as a thought leader for Associations in Asia, the TAC Summit aims to grow as premier platform for local and regional association professionals and leaders to share best practices, bridge expertise gaps and engage in high-quality networking.
This year’s theme, Bridging Ambitions, Building Success, showcases the collective desire to build on our strong foundations and shape the sector for continued success.

TACs, as natural networks and industry aggregators, play a pivotal role in uniting diverse voices, driving transformation initiatives, and strengthening business resilience. In an era where no TAC holes a monopoly on ideas or unlimited resources, the key lies in leveraging partnerships across physical, digital, and human networks. This panel will explore how TACs can effectively harness resources and collaborate to amplify their impact, all while adapting to the rapid advancements in smart technologies and the growing momentum of green trends.
