As a music therapy trainee, joining conferences is one of the most effective platforms for me to meet like-minded people and gain insights from the worldwide speakers. In the past few months, numbers of music therapy conferences in the Western Pacific Region had been held and were a huge success! In the meantime, there are many upcoming conferences to anticipate. To overview the conferences in 2018, they are organized by country or collaboration among countries.
