Driven by curiosity and creativity, TICA’s Young Executive Committee reflects the very spirit of Thailand’s thriving MICE industry – one built on learning, connection, and impact.
In this issue, members of the Young Executive Committee share their personal insights, sources of inspiration, and the challenges they have successfully navigated along their professional journeys.
Khun Nattakul Intanam (Groove)
Director of Events & Experience
BIC Event Thailand
Looking back eight or nine years ago, our reason for joining the MICE industry was simple – there is always something new to learn. The best part about working in this field is that no matter how many events we’ve organised, no two have ever been the same. Each one challenges us to think differently, stay creative, and grow stronger through experience.
That’s what I love most about MICE – there’s no fixed formula or routine. It constantly pushes you to adapt, innovate, and evolve.

MICE Manager
Asian Trails Thailand
In May this year, we managed the most challenging project we’ve ever undertaken. For me, the proudest moments came from watching my young and talented team in action. Most of them have less than two years of experience, yet everyone brought their A-game and gave their all. There were moments when we felt close to giving up, but we pushed through. When I saw the last bus leave the hotel, my heart was filled with joy. I felt incredibly proud of my team and how they came together when it mattered most.
It was an incentive trip for an insurance company from Spain. Interestingly, it was the first MICE project I had ever worked on years ago as a junior, when I handled registrations and transfers. To now oversee such a project as the MICE team manager feels truly rewarding – a full-circle moment in my career.

Events Director
Stream Events Asia
I’ve been in the MICE industry for quite some time, and being a TICA member has helped me grow into a more professional individual. Through TICA’s workshops and familiarisation trips, I’ve gained valuable knowledge about Thailand’s diverse products while building meaningful networks within the industry. That, to me, is one of the best parts of my job.

Thailand stands out because it offers the perfect combination of world-class infrastructure and professional service. This balance not only ensures successful events but also creates unforgettable experiences for attendees — something few destinations can match.
Khun Raksha Sachdev
Business Development Manager
Premier Thailand
Over the past year, Thailand’s MICE industry has evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in sustainability, digital innovation, and AI integration, as well as a stronger focus on experiential events that highlight local culture. We’ve done an excellent job positioning Thailand as a regional hub for world-class business events in Asia.

If I could describe the MICE industry in one word, it would be connection — because connection is what links people to people, and people to businesses, driving collaboration, growth, and opportunity at every level.
Khun Pakaporn Sudasna
Project Manager
CDM – Conference and Destination Management
I would say impactful — because the MICE industry is all about creating impact, whether economic, professional, or emotional. Every event connects people, drives business growth, inspires innovation, and leaves a lasting impression on participants and destinations alike.
