Loy Joon How, General Manager of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co Ltd, was named the new TEA president, effective this June.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

TEA members, who are mostly heads of exhibition companies in Bangkok and key cities in Thailand, such as Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand and Khon Kaen in Northeast Thailand, are clustered into four core groups: Organisers, venues, service providers, and freight forwarders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loy has over 40 years of professional experience in the exhibition industry, including 18 years in Thailand with IMPACT. He takes over the leadership of TEA, replacing outgoing TEA President Panittha Buri, who headed the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last two years, Loy has served on TEA\u2019s Executive Committee as its Vice President. Upon taking the helm of TEA, Loy pledged to “develop, direct, and bring economic growth through seeking new business opportunities, creating events and networking activities, solidifying international marketing efforts, and, more importantly, advocating policies to upgrade the exhibition industry.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
