Now in its 4th year, the hybrid Summit will be held from 20 to 24 September 2022 at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur and will also be broadcast virtually to make it more accessible to local and global audiences, with on-ground experiential learning sessions across ASEAN. The Summit will be opened with a Royal Address by Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Sultan Perak Darul Ridzuan, Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah Al-Maghfur-Lah.
