As Thailand’s post-election government sets its economic direction, this is a timely opportunity to gain first-hand insight into what lies ahead. Join us for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Supavud Saicheua, Chairman of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), one of the country’s most influential voices on economic policy. Dr. Supavud will share his outlook on Thailand’s economy and highlight the government’s priorities for structural transformation and long-term growth—key perspectives for business leaders navigating what comes next.

This event will also serve as the Annual General Meeting for the purposes of approving the 2025 President’s Report and 2025 Audited Financial Statements, along with the appointment of the 2026 Auditor. These documents will be available to all members in the Member Information Center and will be included in the online ballots. Voting will conclude at 12:30 pm, after which the results will be announced at the meeting.
