AfA Coalition Events
The Asia for Animals (AfA) Coalition’s events unite organizations and individuals to collaborate, innovate, and accelerate progress for animals across Asia and beyond. From large-scale conferences and summits to focused regional gatherings, AfA events bring together organisations and advocates to exchange ideas, strengthen practice, and advance more effective and coordinated approaches for animals.
AfA Conference
The biennial AfA Conference is Asia's longest-running animal advocacy gathering. Its purpose is to share information, highlight best practices and build strategies to improve the lives of Asia’s animals. This event continues to go from strength to strength with organizations from around the world bringing ideas and information in to the Conference for discussion. We are the largest animal advocacy conference in the world.
SMACC Global Summit
The first international event dedicated exclusively to addressing the rise of animal cruelty content on social media platforms. The Summit brings together voices from animal protection, technology, law enforcement, academia, social media, and policymaking. Together, we will explore strategies to reduce harm and build safer, more compassionate digital spaces.

What People Say About Our Events
"AfA’s biennial Conference reflects the vitality and promise of organized concern for animals in Asia Pacific nations, and its participants include some of the most accomplished campaigners in the region. For longtime advocates and for new ones, it’s a don’t-miss experience."
"The AfA Coalition have managed to gather an international community at a time when it has never been more challenging, and important, for animal welfare, human health and the future of our planet. A huge well done."
“With 80 billion farm animals raised and killed for food each year, it has never been more important to hold events like the Asia Farm Animal Day to understand the scale of the problem, the impact it has on the welfare of animals and the environment, and to find solutions together.“
