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 837m baht (22m
USD) 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 VP,
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.”

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.”
