The conference attracted experts and scholars including higher education and basic education in the Asia-Pacific region including Australia, China, the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc., and other experts and scholars to discuss the promotion of crossover,
discipline, high-tech, and multiple levels of deep integration.
Also, the University of Central Queensland has arranged the "welcome to country" to all the participants at the begining of the event, which is a ritual performed at many events held in Australia, intended to highlight the cultural significance of the surrounding area to a particular Aboriginal clan or language group. The welcome must be performed by a recognised elder of the group. Welcomes to country are sometimes accompanied by traditional smoking ceremonies, music or dance.
