In 2005, 3 of my colleagues & I went to the 17th ACMR held in Yogjakarta, Indonesia from 19th - 23rd November. Your luggage had better be made from sturdy material that can take hard knocks coz this is how you collect your luggage from the "out of nowhere" airport.
The theme of the 17th ACMR was "A Concerted Effort". About 400 participants from Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Macau, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Austria, France, Iran, Netherland, Russia and the USA attended it. There were school visitations, training sessions, welcome cultural dinner, plenary & discussion sessions packed over these few days.
Some of the teaching resources we saw in one of the special schools we visited. Some were similar to what we have in S'pore but some were really an eye-opener at their creativity to handmake some of these resources to adapt to the individual needs of their pupils. 
E.g. handmade paper mache 3-D model of the female anatomy with the names of the parts typed out in braille. More to come in my next post!
