The 7th ICSD AP conference in Bangladesh: Some experiences and reflections for the way forward

In the light of the unique experiences of the 7th ICSDAP Conference,
this chapter includes a brief background, details of activities, challenges
and opportunities, and outputs and outcomes. Our experiences and
reflections suggest that organising international conferences to bring
social development scholars together to deliberate on mutual areas
of research and practice interests undoubtedly contributes to critical
examination and dissemination of knowledge, at least to some extent.
In addition, what is equally important, the process and experience of
organising conferences appear to enhance our and host organisation’s
learning and capacity-building, yielding benefit for everyone to build a
better future by overcoming all the odds.
