+We are super excited to announce the new APAC Track for the R/Pharma 2024 conference!
+
+## Context
+R/Pharma 2024, the conference on all things [Open Source in Pharma](http://opensourceinpharma.com/), will take place October 29th-31st 2024, preceded by Training Days the week prior. The conference will be fully virtual. For all details including topics see the [call for talks](https://rinpharma.com/post/2024-06-08-call4talks/).
+
+
+## News
+This year, we embrace the global nature of the R/Pharma community, by opening for the first time ever an Asia-Pacific (APAC) Track of the conference. This will run during APAC daytime hours - a few days might be APAC mornings, a few APAC evenings, but we will avoid the APAC nighttime. We will be hosting presentations, workshops and panel discussions, as well as streamings of keynote recordings from the global track.
+
+
+## Call to Action: What does this mean for you?
+First, definitely mark your calendars for October 29th-31st 2024 and the week before for the workshops, whether you are in APAC or elsewhere in the world.  
+Second, think which topic you have been working on would be cool to share with the R/Pharma community via a short talk. And don’t be afraid - we will offer coaching, also in the APAC time zones to help you develop your talk! Please submit your talk via https://sessionize.com/rpharma/ until July 31st - just complete the form introducing yourself and your proposed topic, and please note the checkbox related to presenting in the relevant time zone.  
+Third, if you have any questions, please use the form on our [contact page](https://rinpharma.com/contact/) to have your question routed to the organizing committee Slack channel or email the APAC committee directly via [email protected].
+
+Thanks a lot in advance for your engagement!
