Offsite Excursions to Dive Deeper into the Local Impact Ecosystem
For the first two days, participants in the Global Annual Conference will be engaged in networking events and sessions. The third day—Thursday, September 12—will be completely different. We have curated a series of excursions outside the conference venue. Off-site visits allow participants a direct experience of Bangkok’s entrepreneurial scene. This additional program offers exceptional social connections and cultural enrichment opportunities.
Choose from full-day or half-day excursions focused on social enterprise, climate and energy, or agri-tech, and join us for an immersive experience designed to showcase Bangkok’s vibrant social and environmental innovation landscape.
