The Southeast Asia Freedom of Religion or Belief Conference (SEA FoRB III) is an assembly of religious freedom advocates who are dedicated to promote religious freedom in Southeast Asia.

​This is the third time the conference has been convened. The first conference was held in October 2015 in Bangkok and resulted in a Declaration of Freedom of Religion or Belief in Southeast Asia. The second conference was held in Dili, East Timor in August 2016 and secured commitment from participants to develop long-term action plans to further advance and promote freedom of religion or belief.

The 2017 conference, to be held in Manila on November 7 & 8, aims to adopt a more hands-on approach and to involve wider participation from influential leaders and key stakeholders. On November 9, participants will join side meetings to develop country-specific strategies.
