APEC Vietnam 2017 (Vietnamese: APEC Việt Nam 2017) is the year-long hosting of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meetings in Vietnam, which will culminate with the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Đà Nẵng. It marks the second time Vietnam will be playing host to the APEC, having hosted the event previously in 2006.
The Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the National Committee for APEC 2017 through the Agency for Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibition organized a logo design contest for the APEC Vietnam 2017 summit. The contest ran from March to April 4, 2016 and was open to both amateur and professional Vietnamese artists. The organizers of the logo design contests required the entries to feature the phrase "APEC Vietnam 2017", highlight Vietnamese culture, as well as to represent the five components of the 2017 summit which are dynamism, creativity, action, unity, and movement to the future. 234 submissions from 92 candidates residing in 20 provinces and cities across Vietnam for the competition were received by the ministry.
The winning logo design was announced on January 2017. The selected design was conceptualized by a group working for Mark&B Vietnam, a branding agency. The winning logo depicts stylised images of paddles and Lạc birds, a common motif on drums of the ancient Đông Sơn culture. The placement of the elements suggest a circular movement which is meant to represent a "dynamic APEC".
A Round Table Meeting with the theme, "Stronger Joint Action for APEC's Shared Vision", was held in Hanoi in December 17, 2015 by the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss preparation efforts for the 2017 APEC Summit.
The People’s Committee of Đà Nẵng, the host city of the Economic Leader's Meeting, has approved a project to upgrade major roads in the city. The project will cover 34 streets in the city which is estimated to cost around ₫243 billion or around US$10.9 million. The Da Nang International Airport is also scheduled to be completed by March 2017.
