ADPAI was formed in 1993 by several Asian directory companies. The objectives of ADPAI are to enhance cooperation among the Asian Directory Publishers and initiate studies important to the industry. It has been a very useful experience for each member. There are regular exchanges of technology and management skills among the ADPAI members and this Association sets an excellent example of regional cooperation.
Goals of ADPAI are as follows:
1. To establish a nonprofit association composed of companies, employees and individuals who are involved in the business of Directory Publishing, in order to establish a forum where members can meet on neutral ground to examine problems of mutual interest, facilitate the exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas, establish standards and practices of the Directory Publishing industry, and to promote better relationships between members through congress and conferences and improved communication channels.
2. To initiate studies and analyses important to the industry and to assist in education and training through the organization of work-study courses, educational programs and familiarization visits among member countries.
3. To provide industry related information as well as political and other changes which affect or are of benefit to members.
