On September 20, 2026, the 63rd International Association of Women Police (IAWP) conference opened in Nusa Dua, Bali, gathering over 500 delegates from 43 countries. Indonesia's National Police Chief presided over the opening ceremony, with the event running through September 24. Direct impact on tourists and residents is expected to be minimal.
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the 63rd International Association of Women Police (IAWP) conference opened at The Nusa Dua in Badung Regency, Bali. More than 500 delegates from 43 countries attended, with Indonesia's National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo presiding over the opening ceremony.
This marks the first time the IAWP conference has been held in person in Indonesia. The event will run through Thursday, September 24, featuring conference sessions, a parade, and a joint mangrove planting activity.
General Sigit expressed hope that the conference would serve as a valuable platform for information sharing and capacity building among policewomen from participating countries.
The Nusa Dua area, a major resort district, may see increased security presence and possible minor traffic adjustments during the event period. However, no significant disruption to general tourist activities is expected.
Things to Consider
Visitors staying in or traveling through the Nusa Dua area between September 20-24 should allow extra time for transit due to possible increased security and minor traffic adjustments near the conference venue. No special travel restrictions or visa-related changes apply, so normal travel preparations are sufficient.
