Its current member countries are Australia, India, China, Japan, Taipei, South Korea, New Zealand. All the member countries have national level crystallographic association. The association annually organizes Conference of the Asian Crystallographic Association named as meeting of the Asian crystallographic Association. This year it will be the 14^th conference & is scheduled for December at Hanoi, Vietnam. Another major event from the association is scheduled in August, 2017 at Kolkata.
