HONG KONG – Ringier Events announced on Wednesday that it has decided to hold the Asia High-Efficiency Metalworking Summit on August 21-22, 2014. The summit, which will address the technology requirements of the metalworking industry in Southeast Asia, had originally been scheduled for May 2014 in Bangkok.
With its robust automobile sector and ongoing infrastructure investments, Thailand remains a leading market in the regional metal tooling and metal fabrication market. Current political uncertainty, however, is affecting the dynamics – if only in the Thai capital, where political demonstration activities are now limited to central Bangkok.
While the outlook for the Metalworking industry remains buoyant in Thailand and across the region, Ringier believes that the confidence and comfort of participants is primary.
“Part of the success of our conferences is that we create platforms where experts and participants can network and exchange ideas, and for that to work, it’s essential that everyone is in a comfortable environment,” said Mike Hay, president of Ringier Events.
Ringier and co-organizer TTIS Co Ltd remain confident that the situation in Bangkok will continue to improve, and is indeed already showing signs of stabilization, and that Thai agencies will remain well prepared to support business travellers to the capital.
“Businesses are largely operating normally, and the transport infrastructure is still working well and business travellers can go about as usual, even to tourist sites,” Mr Hay said. “Delaying the event a few months can only improve visitor confidence and feeling of well-being.”
Furthermore, the Thai Tourism Bureau is introducing a series of incentives for business travellers attending conferences and trade shows with partners such as Visa and Thai Airways as well as local retail and tour operators. “We want to ensure that we have all the details of these offers first, so that they can be passed onto our delegates,” Mr Hay added.
