ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 Returns With Stronger Regional Voice

KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 (Bernama) -- Building on the success of its impactful debut last year, the ASEAN Change Management Conference 2025 (ACMC) is set to return to Kuala Lumpur on Oct 1 and 2, bringing together leaders and practitioners from across Southeast Asia for bold leadership and a people-first focus.

Organised by K-Pintar Sdn Bhd, this year’s conference, themed ‘Advancing Results, Change Done Right!’,  promises deeper regional engagement, stronger collaboration, and practical insights that go beyond theory into real-world transformation.

K-Pintar Sdn Bhd, in a statement,  said ACMC 2025 aims to position change not merely as a necessity, but as a skill to be honed.

ACMC chairperson and K-Pintar chief executive officer (CEO), R. A. Thiagaraja, said ACMC 2025 is about equipping leaders and change practitioners to implement change with precision and long-term impact.

“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,” he said.

He said ACMC 2025’s speakers lineup includes experts from England, Poland, Africa, India, Singapore, and Malaysia, bringing global ideas together with local experience to talk about the real challenges in ASEAN.

The conference centers on five topics of Trends and Innovation, Organsational Culture, Psychology and Neuroscience, Change Leadership and Fundamentals, and Digital Transformation that will be explored through masterclasses, interactive workshops, leadership dialogues and design sprints, offering participants practical tools they can apply in real-world settings.

According to the statement, the National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN) has come on board as a strategic collaboration partner for ACMC 2025, bringing in 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,” the statement said.

 In collaboration with the Project Management Institute Malaysia Chapter, Institut Koperasi Malaysia (IKMA), National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM), Global Business Services (GBS), Prosci (USA) and other international organisations, the conference aims to support the establishment of a sustainable regional ecosystem focused on advancing the profession of change management.

ACMC 2025 is expected to attract 500 participants from across the region and the conference is now open for registration at https://aseanchangemanagementconference.com/.
