in the past,the event has always been organised in the US or Europe.We are very glad that this time the event will be Thailand.Already it has attracted the most participants in EO's 30-year history; over 1500 attendees.One reason for this is that Thailand is a major business hub in Southeast Asia,a region in which many people are interested.In addition,many world-renowned speakers across industries are joining us to share their insights and experiences concerning all aspects of business operations.This fits well with EO Thailand's "Thirst for Learning" key concept which encourages entrepreneurs to embrace life-long learning.That's why Forbes magazine has labelled the Global Leadership Conference in Thailand a "not to be missed" event for entrepreneurs.
As for how this event contributes to Thailand,it is generating at least 300 million baht for the country from expenses in event organizing,speakers'fees,travel and transport,venue hire and accommodation.The event also generates substantial revenues from personal expenses of participants and family members,including their shopping opportunity for entrepreneurs worldwide to explore and experience the charms of Thai culture.
