Persidangan Kependudukan Kebangsaan 2026 (PERKKS26)

The National Population Conference 2026, or PERKKS26, invites researchers, policymakers, practitioners, academics, students and stakeholders to be part of Malaysia’s leading population and family development discourse. Organised by LPPKN, PERKKS26 continues the national conference platform that brings together ideas, evidence and partnerships to better understand Malaysia’s changing population realities and to shape the future of families. Carrying the theme “Assessing Population Realities, Shaping the Future of Families”, PERKKS26 will be held from 3 to 5 November 2026 at Hive 5 Auditorium, MRANTI Park, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. The conference provides an important opportunity for participants to engage in high-level discussions, present research findings and contribute to policy-relevant recommendations in the areas of population, family development and reproductive health.
