With a population of over 10 million people, Bangkok is one of the most visited cities in the world, seamlessly connecting travelers to Thailand’s northern mountains, southern islands, and everything in between. The city’s strategic location along the Chao Phraya River has shaped its identity for centuries, once earning it the nickname “Venice of the East” due to its extensive network of canals (khlongs) that still weave through parts of the city today.
Bangkok’s central position within Southeast Asia also makes it one of the region’s most important hubs for trade, diplomacy, and tourism, with direct flight connections to major cities across Asia, Europe, Australia, and beyond, making it an effortless starting point for attendees travelling from anywhere in the world.
