Building on success — ASPA 2026 heads to Hong Kong
About the client
The Asia-Pacific Society for Physical Activity brings together researchers, practitioners and policymakers to advance the science and practice of physical activity across the world’s most populous region. Founded in 2020, ASPA has quickly grown into a genuinely regional community, with members across the Asia-Pacific, six special interest groups and a thriving early-career network.
Its annual conference has become a fixture in the field — Newcastle in 2025, Hong Kong in 2026 — and the society’s open, multidisciplinary ethos makes it one of the most energetic member communities we work with.
The challenge
There is no better endorsement than a repeat request. After Newcastle 2025 ran smoothly, ASPA asked us to deliver the website for their sixth annual conference — in Hong Kong, 2–4 December 2026, hosted with Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
A second conference raises the bar rather than lowering it: an international edition, a new venue, a wider audience — and every rough edge from year one expected to be gone.
Our approach
We launched the 2026 conference website in April — abstract management, delegate registration, e-commerce and committee tools on the same Membersites conference platform, now a year stronger. Enhancements made since Newcastle, including the automatic abstract-book generator, are already at work.
It is off to a strong start: abstract submissions are open and flowing, with registration to follow. And because the platform improves between events rather than being rebuilt for each one, everything learned in Hong Kong will be waiting for the next conference too.
This is the second chapter of ASPA’s conference story — it began with the society’s first conference website, in Newcastle.
