The northern Thai city of Chiang Mai has successfully secured the hosting rights for six international conferences in 2025, and confirmed at least one international conference for 2026.
The six international conferences slated for Chiang Mai in 2025 span a diverse range of fields, including engineering, medicine, environmental science, and social science.
Events will be held at locations ranging from the expansive Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre to the convention halls of various five-star hotels throughout the city.
This achievement signals a growing diversification of Thailand’s conference landscape, traditionally dominated by Bangkok.
Two conferences, The 39th International Conference on Information Networking was held on January 15-17, at Kantary Hills Hotel, while the 2nd International Conference on Materials for Green Future took place recently from April 28 – May 1, at Shangri-La Chiang Mai.
The remaining four conferences are The 25th Asia-Australia Conference of Radiological Technologist, June 5-7, at Chiangmai Grandview Hotel & Convention Center; The 7th International Conference on Public Policy 2025, July 2-4, at Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre; The 15th International Conference on Precision Engineering and Sustainable Manufacturing, July 6-11, at Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel; The Society of Instrument and Control Engineer Annual Conference, September 9-12, at The Empress Hotel and Convention Centre.
In total, the conferences will bring in approximately 3,600 delegates to Chiang Mai.
Adding to its recent successes, Chiang Mai was selected in March 2025 by the International Festivals & Events Association – Asia (IFEA-Asia) to host the IFEA Asia Pinnacle Awards & Asia Festival City Conference 2026, scheduled for February 4-6.
