Thailand - Exhibition organiser association UFI has announced dates for its next exhibition management degree course in Bangkok, Thailand.
The UFI-EMD programme will run from 23 November 2009 to 3 April 2010, hosted by the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau and the Thai Exhibition Association. The course is not country-specific and is applicable to all destinations seeking to attract business events.
This is the third time the course will be organized in Bangkok. Other UFI-EMD programmes have been held in the UAE, Russia and Macao.
UFI MD Vincent Gérard stressed the need to invest in professional training now in order to be able to meet the event industry needs of tomorrow. "In today's global business event world, top managers stand out through strategic thinking, creativity, and well-developed professional expertise," he says. "These are skills that must be constantly updated and developed."
“The timing is right for the business event industry to invest in its skill base”, says Supawan Teerarat, exhibition director at TCEB, pictured. "TCEB is responding by adding more incentives to meet in Thailand and encouraging the industry to upgrade its skills by joining this UFI-EMD course."
