The Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) organized the APT Symposium on Spectrum Management 2018 from 3 to 5 September 2018 in Manila, Philippines. The symposium was hosted by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Philippines and supported by the Extra Budgetary Contributions from Japan.

The objectives of the symposium were to discuss and share understandings on policy and regulatory issues in spectrum management as well as possible approaches toward new ICT trends, and to facilitate regional cooperation in relevant areas, emphasizing on but not limited to:

• Role and function of spectrum management policy in the context of National ICT Strategy;
• Spectrum policy and regulation with recent industry trends;
• Related industry/competition policy and regulation (licensing, spectrum re-farming, etc.);
• Coordination to minimize the cross-border interference;
• Best practices and experiences in spectrum management among member countries.
  

A dialogue was also held for high level policy makers, regulators and industry in the region to discuss the issues mentioned above.
