### Corporate Entities

ASEAN Media Group Company Limited [9][13] and CÔNG TY TNHH QUẢNG CÁO VÀ TRUYỀN THÔNG ASEAN MEDIA [6] illustrate the varied commercial environment within the ASEAN bloc. While the first specializes in convention planning and digital marketing [9], the latter works in OOH advertising [12], emphasizing localized flexibility. Significantly, despite registration issues [6], these entities contribute to infrastructure for public communication.

### Policy Frameworks

The Vientiane-hosted conference [3] acts as a stage for syncing communication plans with regional goals. Deputy Minister Phosy Keomanivong [3] highlighted its role in bridging journalistic executives and regulatory authorities, encouraging discussions on socioeconomic barriers. Similarly, Malaysia’s 2025 chairmanship [5] prioritizes simplifying messaging [5] to enhance ASEAN’s visibility through diverse media tactics.

## Digital Empowerment

### Addressing Disinformation

The capacity-building project [4] has trained over 190k participants across ASEAN countries, arming them with evaluative resources to navigate digital deception. Through e-learning platforms and community-level programs, the program addresses at-risk groups, including elders and village teachers. Master Trainers [4] further expand its reach by conducting training sessions on content verification.

### Immersive Media Trends

Forecasts indicate the interactive content industry [8] will achieve $18.6m by next year, with a rapid expansion pace propelled by post-pandemic adoption. Services like virtual tourism and augmented reality shopping cater to Gen Z users, redefining audience interaction. Importantly, blended conferences have surged in preference, connecting regional divides for attendees in underserved zones.
