Global Summit of Women 2022 to be hosted by Thailand

The MICE event expected between 23 and 25 June will feature more than 1.000 participants from over 60 countries, after two years of Covid-19-induced break.

The international convention will be hosted in Bangkok, as the country aims to quickly relaunch the business events scene following the pandemic.

The announcement was made by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and GSW’s President.

The event will also offer Thailand the opportunity to build its "World Destination" for international events image, as the country is slowly relaxing measures related to incoming travel and Covid-19.

Mrs. Nichapa Yoswee, Senior Vice President of TCEB, declared:

"Thailand is back and we are again ready to woo the world with our commitment, capability, and creativity. And the Global Summit of Women is the perfect platform to do that. With its values of gender equality, diversity and inclusiveness, the Summit not only mirrors our national aspirations as set out under Thailand's 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan but also reflects the resilience and economic contribution of our MICE industry. We are expecting 1,000 participants and women leaders from 60 countries and an income of 80 million baht from this much-anticipated world-class convention."

Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women, added:

"As Summit President, I am looking forward to bringing this renowned Summit to Thailand, a country where women rank high in economic participation in business and government. The 2022 theme – 'Women: Creating Opportunities in the New Reality' – will focus on driving post-pandemic economy. Male and female senior executives of multinational corporations are expected from countries as diverse as South Africa, Vietnam, France, Spain, Mexico, Germany, and Kazakhstan. There is genuine excitement in being able to meet in person for the first time in over two years since the COVID-19 pandemic."

As a notable particularity, the 2022 edition of the Global Summit of Women in Thailand will be continuously monitored for carbon footprint, energy use emissions and waste management with the help of the Project to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Thailand.

The MICE industry in Thailand is expected to gain more than 33.2 billion baht, as it created over 46.000 jobs during 2021. Moreover, the country will also be the host of the annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting set to take place in Bangkok on 18-19 November 2022.
