The 2023 AIS Forum will be held at Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) for two days on October 10-11, 2023. A total of 51 island and archipelagic countries, as well as a number of international organizations, are expected to attend this event themed "Fostering Collaboration, Enabling Innovation for Our Ocean and Our Future".

The 2023 AIS Forum members will focus on three aspects, namely the development of the blue economy, the challenge of climate change, and the strengthening of solidarity between islands and island countries.
