The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) has secured hosting rights for three international pharmaceutical conferences scheduled between 2026 and 2027.
These events are expected to attract more than 3,200 delegates and generate over 151 million baht (US$4.9 million) in revenue.
From July 29 to August 11, 2026, the 71st International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF) World Congress 2026 will take place at Chulalongkorn University. The event is expected to attract approximately 600 participants, including 500 international delegates from over 100 countries, generating around 33 million baht in revenue. Thailand previously hosted this congress in 2011 in Hat Yai.
Following this, the 31st Congress of the Federation of Asian Pharmaceutical Associations (FAPA) will be held from November 3 to 7, 2026, at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Muang Thong Thani. This congress is expected to draw 2,000 attendees, including 1,500 foreign delegates, and generate approximately 99 million baht in revenue.
This event will focus on digital innovation and artificial intelligence for healthcare safety, while highlighting Thai herbal medicine. This marks the sixth time Thailand has hosted the FAPA Congress, the highest hosting record among member countries.
Finally, the biennial Asian Association of Schools of Pharmacy (AASP) Conference 2027 will bring 600 participants to the Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre from July 1 to 2, 2027. This marks the event’s second time in Thailand, returning 22 years after its 2005 debut.
“The strong professionalism of three Thai pharmaceutical bodies – including the Pharmacy Students’ Federation of Thailand – in their collaboration with TCEB as a national bidding government agency resulted in these successful wins, covering the entire pharmaceutical industry value chain – including students, schools, and organisations – for the first time,” TCEB’s president, Supawan Teerarat, said.
