The overarching theme of the 2025APCS is "Collaborate. Inspire. Transform" with three sub-themes to be explored:

  • Centres of Connection
  • Centres of Solutions
  • Centres of Resilience

Driven by innovation, Expo City Dubai is the pioneering legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai, the unforgettable event that welcomed 192 nations and more than 24 million visitors. Expo City Dubai also hosted the United Nations 28th Conference of Parties (COP28) in 2023.

Expo City Dubai, a unique multipurpose district close to the new Al Maktoum International Airport, offers ultra-modern commercial, residential, leisure and entertainment facilities, and is further a centre of gravity for the testing and application of impactful and scalable innovations in a city context. A key component of the Dubai 2040 Master Plan, the city has a focus on sustainability and human-centric growth that enables the future of both people and the planet.

With a history of 28 years, the APCS continues to be a powerful hub for cities in the region to share ideas and solutions, to collaborate internationally and enable city and business leaders to improve their regions.

Initiated by Brisbane City Council, the International Relations and Multicultural Affairs Unit is the Secretariat for APCS. The 2027APCS will return to Brisbane.
