Asia’s biggest events are happening here – discover why

Bangkok has long been a preferred hub for international business and events, thanks to its accessibility, rich infrastructure, and world-class hospitality. Recent global events have reinforced the importance of safety and preparedness in the meetings and events industry – and Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) continues to set the benchmark in both.

Safety first: QSNCC’s proven preparedness

As a leading exhibition venue located in the heart of the city, QSNCC has always prioritised safety, crisis preparedness, and service excellence at the core of its operations. This commitment was put to the test on 28 March 2025, when a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in central Myanmar sent tremors across Bangkok. Thanks to rigorous safety protocols and an experienced team, all event operations at QSNCC remained calm, orderly, and uninterrupted.

Immediately after the tremors, a thorough structural inspection by an independent team of expert engineers confirmed that the QSNCC remains structurally sound, with no damage reported. The venue remains unaffected and fully operational, while Bangkok’s transportation networks, hotels, shopping malls, and attractions continue to operate as usual.

Moving forward with global events

QSNCC's ability to host large-scale events safely is reflected by its ongoing partnerships with major global conferences, which remain confident in holding their events at the venue.

One such event is Money 20/20 Asia, one of the world’s most influential fintech conferences, which is returning to QSNCC from 22-24 April 2025 after a successful debut last year. This highly anticipated event is expected to bring 4,000 C-suite executives, innovators, and regulators from over 85 countries in the digital finance world to Bangkok.

“Our inaugural Money20/20 Asia show at QSNCC last year was a great success. As we look ahead to Money20/20 Asia 2025, we have been collaborating closely with QSNCC and greatly value their ongoing support, expertise, and professionalism. Their partnership has been instrumental as we prepare for what we are confident will be another outstanding show,” said Danny Levy, managing director, Asia & ANZ, Money20/20 Asia. 

From 23-26 April, Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok (JGAB) – part of Informa Markets’ global Jewellery Network – returns to QSNCC as a premier B2B platform for Southeast Asia’s burgeoning gems and jewellery industry. The event will host over 400 exhibitors from 15 countries, offering a vibrant space for trade and networking.

“We are pleased to return to QSNCC for the third consecutive year to host this important event. With its distinctive Thai-inspired design, state-of-the-art facilities, and a proven track record in delivering world-class experiences, we trust that the venue will once again provide a memorable setting for our delegates. We look forward to another successful edition of the event,” said Sanchai Noombunnam, country general manager of Informa Markets Thailand.

The calendar at QSNCC remains busy for the rest of the year, with more high-profile, industry-defining events lined up. Highlights include the Infinitus (China) Incentive Program (May 2025); Asia Digi Commerce Services Expo (11–13 June 2025); Cosmoprof CBE ASEAN (25-27 June 2025); MobilityTech Asia (2-4 July 2025); and Bangkok 2025, Global Biohealth, AI Innovation and Traditional Medicine Fusion Cooperation Summit (China) (9-11 November 2025). These conferences will bring together leaders from e-commerce, biotechnology, beauty, and transport sectors.

With 78,500 sqm of flexible event space, QSNCC is purpose-built for events of any scale, featuring eight expansive event halls, four plenary halls and four ballrooms, 50 meeting rooms, and cutting-edge technology, including high-speed internet, LED screens, and top-tier sound and video equipment.

As sustainability becomes an essential factor in venue selection, many businesses integrating eco-conscious practices into their event planning. QSNCC leads in this space as Southeast Asia’s first LEED Silver-certified convention centre. Since its 2022 reopening, the venue has incorporated energy-efficient measures, including solar panels, extensive LED lighting, and maximised natural light to reduce energy consumption.

Additionally, its direct connection to Bangkok’s MRT allows attendees to avoid traffic congestion while reducing their carbon footprint. Adjacent to the Benjakitti Park, QSNCC provides a green escape for attendees, with walking trails and open spaces perfect for pre- or post-event activities and relaxation.
