Winning the meetings is the result of collaboration between the Thailand chapter of IEEE Power & Energy Society and Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), said TCEB’s senior vice president, Nichapa Yoswee.
A branch of the world’s largest association of electronic engineers
has chosen Thailand as the host country for three conferences scheduled
to take place over the next three years.
The Thailand chapter of IEEE Power & Energy Society – the oldest
society of the US-based Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers – worked with Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB)
to secure the meetings.
IEEE PES APPEEC 2023 will be held in Chiang Mai, IEEE ISC2 2024 in
Pattaya, and IEEE PES GTD Asia 2025 in Bangkok, adding around 837
million baht (US$22 million) to the economy.
The conferences are expected to attract over 11,000 international
participants and showcase the country’s expertise in the fields of power
and energy science. The IEEE PES GTD Asia conference in Bangkok is
expected to attract around 10,000 delegates.
TCEB’s senior vice president, Nichapa Yoswee, said: “Thailand’s
success in winning the three consecutive international power &
energy conferences is the result of TCEB’s strategic planning and strong
collaboration with local associations and partners including the
targeted host cities.
“They will also be a great opportunity for Thai professionals and
students in related fields to have access to world-class knowledge from
experts in power, energy, and smart cities from around the world. The
positive impacts and legacies will encompass economic, social, and
subject matter advancement aspects for Thailand and especially the host
cities.”
IEEE PES - Thailand’s senior vice chairman, Somchai Homklinkaew,
added: “This is another success story in the cooperation between our
society and TCEB in pushing Thailand as host country for major world
conferences.”
