Mr Kenny Yong, Managing Director of Fireworks Media (Thailand) Co., Ltd., revealed that from 16 to 18 October 2024, the company will host parallel exhibitions for three industry sectors.

The three parallel exhibitions will take place in a space covering over 8,000 square metres at the BITEC Exhibition and Convention Centre located in Bangna, Bangkok, Thailand.
“All three industries are interconnected, and Fireworks has decided to organise these exhibitions simultaneously to offer convenience for attendees, allowing them to explore the latest technological advancements across all three sectors in one place,” said Mr Yong. He added that the event is expected to attract over 8,000 participants, including entrepreneurs, investors, and industry professionals from leading global organisations. This gathering will foster opportunities for networking, exchanging views, addressing challenges, and creating new business partnerships that will drive future growth together.
