The two-day conference was followed by the APC General Assembly and elections, where delegates elected the APC Board of Executives for the 2023-2027 term.

The APC conference, opened by APC President Majid Rashed, featured several themes that highlighted the vision and mission of the APC. The keynote address was delivered by His Highness Prince Fahad bin Jalawi Alsaud, Vice President of the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, who welcomed everyone to Riyadh.

In his opening remarks, President Majid Rashed thanked the hosts, NPC Saudi Arabia, and said: "We have very important business to do over the next four days and you have provided us with the best possible environment for us to do so. Coming on the heels of the spectacular Hangzhou Asian Para Games, which raised the bar for the Asian Para Games, this Conference and General Assembly will also set a new standard." 

"And it is important that we continue to move forward. In Hangzhou, we saw the enhancements on and off the field of play and we know that our region is improving its performance at the Paralympic Games. We have heard about the progress we have made on the APC Strategic Plan and how we are also benchmarking and measuring our achievements. It is vital that we keep on raising the bar and do all we can to support our athletes," he added.

The event was attended by Michael Peters, CEO of the International Paralympic Committee, and representatives from several international federations including the Wheelchair Basketball Federation, World Taekwondo, World Ability Sport, World Wheelchair Rugby, the International Canoe Federation and the International Federation of Blind Sports.
