Asia Pacific Networking Group (APNG) (http://www.apng.org) is a non-profit Internet organization dedicated to the advancement of networking infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region and to the research and development of all associated enabling technologies. Its key mission, among others is to contribute Internet Growth in the Asia Pacific (AP) through:

- Learning its history in each country and experience from seniors;
- Sharing information among community;
- Empowering Next Generation (APNG) activity through APNG Camps;
- Providing a venue and opportunity of discussion for developing countries; and
- Challenging to create new Internet growth opportunity.

Through its activities, it had spawned off a number of Asia Pacific organizations including Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), Asia & Pacific Internet Association (APIA), Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association (APTLD) and Asia Pacific Computer Emergency Response Team (APCERT). Today, APNG is the leading voice of Internet networking in the Asia Pacific Region.

APNG operates through Steering Committee and a Secretariat. It holds yearly meetings in different locations throughout the Asia Pacific Region. Each meeting is usually associated with a seminar, focusing on current topics of interest related to networking.

APNG Camp is the camp for future internet leaders in the Asia Pacific Region where AP seniors and the Next Generation learn and work together. Sharing information among community promotes to activate Next Generation (APNG) activity through APNG Camp.
The FIRST APNG camp was held in Bangkok in 2002. Since its inception, we had successfully organized ten camps. The most recent of which was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in conjunction with the APAN Meeting. The 10th APNG Camp was an important milestone in APNG history and achievements, as it continues to grow and achieve its success.

The camp serves as a place for opportunity of discussion for developing countries to challenge to create new Internet growth opportunities and also helps people to learn the Asian Perspective of the Internet. APNG Camp intends to foster multidisciplinary research including not only engineering but also non-engineering.  APNG Camp is held at regular intervals in different international places as shown in the following slides.

Keeping the fact in our mind that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow, APNG and its camp activities are not only empowering the Next Generation who has the power of developmental assets and an innovative and fresh point of view on Internet Technology but also bonding and strengthening relationship among senior leaders and the youth to share and discuss over perspectives of today's Internet in Asia Pacific.
