The Thailand Regional Forum is a peer group of Chief Executive Officers, Managing Directors, General Managers and Business Development Directors.  Member companies are involved in a wide range of business and industrial sectors.The forum program consists of ten plenary meetings per year, six or more CEO breakfasts, along with three monthly publications.

Meetings
There are ten meetings per year. These meetings comprise two forecasting sessions covering economics, politics and the general business environment and eight operational sessions on such subjects as corporate social responsibility, governance, human resources, consumer market trends, legislative reform and other issues of concern to members.  Members are actively involved in shaping meeting topics to help respond to their needs and regularly participate as speakers and panellists.
 
Meetings are held at Bangkok Club, South Sathorn Road, from 8:30 – 10:00 am preceded by a buffet breakfast.  The sessions consist of presentations by qualified experts relating to the meeting topic, followed by roundtable discussions.
