Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has emerged as a prominent figure, taking center stage in a compelling video message presented to the prestigious International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). In his address, Sittipunt passionately highlighted the city’s unwavering readiness to host the highly anticipated ICCA Congress 2023.
Scheduled to unfold from November 12 to 15, this grand event aims to exhibit Bangkok’s exceptional capabilities as a regional powerhouse for hosting world-class meetings and conventions. As the Thai capital prepares to welcome a diverse array of international delegates, Governor Chadchart emphasized the congress’s immense potential to shine a spotlight on Bangkok’s unique allure and cultural richness. By doing so, the city aspires to become the preferred destination for global tourists seeking both business and leisure experiences.
The ICCA, an esteemed international organization with headquarters based in the Netherlands, is dedicated to raising the bar for conventions worldwide. It achieves this noble goal by fostering information exchange among its extensive membership and promoting the staging of international conventions. Boasting over 1,000 public and private agency members hailing from more than 100 countries, the ICCA holds a reputation for excellence in the field.
Within Bangkok’s vibrant landscape, several key ICCA members based in Thailand are proud to call this bustling metropolis home. Notable organizations such as the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center, the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, and Impact Arena actively contribute to the city’s robust convention industry. Their invaluable expertise and resources solidify Bangkok’s position as a formidable player on the global stage.
Every year, the ICCA Congress garners significant attention, attracting over 1,000 representatives from member agencies. Accompanying them are approximately 100 executives and delegates hailing from leading organizations and associations in industries closely tied to the convention world. Thailand, a proud member of the ICCA since 1974, has been bestowed the privilege of hosting this prestigious event twice before. The first occasion unfolded in Bangkok back in 1984, while the second took place in Pattaya in 2007. These previous successes have further bolstered the country’s standing as a favorable choice for hosting such influential gatherings.
With Bangkok’s Governor Chadchart Sittipunt taking the reins, the city eagerly anticipates the upcoming ICCA Congress 2023. The stage is set for an extraordinary gathering of global minds, showcasing the city’s unwavering commitment to excellence in the world of conventions. As November approaches, the world eagerly awaits the remarkable experiences, knowledge exchange, and networking opportunities that this illustrious event promises to deliver.
