Cambodia Annual Outlook Conference is CDRI flagship and high-level event of the year for the Institute. Inaugurated in 2007, the conference is one of the most influential policy events in Cambodia. It aims to provide a forward-looking and problem-solving platform for leaders in government, business, and development to discuss, share insights and shape development policy directions on the nation’s pressing issues.

Past conferences have enjoyed participation of 400 active leaders in Cambodia, with high-level representation from ministries and authorities at national and sub-national level, leading private sectors, diplomats and development partners, national and international academia and researchers, and selected civil society organisations.

As custom, the opening keynote address has always been delivered by Cambodia’s Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN. The outcome of the conference discussions and recommendations are published as conference briefs for actions and implementations by policymakers.
