Description

AMCHAM invites you to join us for our thirteenth Governors' Table in 2020, hosted by Rachel Davidson of Hilton & Doubletree Sukhumvit and Greg Wong of Agoda.

This event is specially dedicated to the Chamber's first AMCHAM Academy cohort. AMCHAM Academy connects high-talent staff with leaders in the Thai business world in small group seminars. This year's cohort had the pleasure of hearing from U.S. Ambassador Michael George DeSombree, Boonchai Opas-iam-likit, and Robert Rosenstein. 

Our Governors' Tables offer an opportunity to connect to leading executives and AMCHAM Board Governors over leisurely dinners in unique dinner venues around Bangkok. The small group size allows for individual introductions followed by relaxed, wide-ranging conversations with leaders from diverse industries and businesses.

This evening’s venue is the poolside Pavilion at the Bangkok Marriott Marquis, one of Bangkok’s premier luxury hotels located in the heart in Phrompong.
