ICE2027 Bangkok

The multifaceted nature of events encompasses sports, cultural festivals, conferences and exhibitions, entertainment events, concerts, themed catering functions, among many others. Technology brings us closer than ever, yet modern considerations such as geo-politics, travel costs and environmental issues are at play, shaping the role of events in societies as much as how they influence event participation. Like in previous editions, this conference features a diverse range of presentations and workshops related to different aspects of events.
