Asia in a Borderless World

As a hub of development, trade, and tourism in Asia, Thailand is emerging as an important pillar of the global economy and a major force for economic growth.

Leveraging the country’s central location—both physically and metaphorically—in the Asian marketplace and the global business community, the Wharton Global Forum Bangkok will provide a venue through which leaders from business, academia, and government can explore strategies that address aspirations and risks faced by organizations of all sizes in today’s interconnected business environment.

Through workshops, panels, keynotes, and intimate discussions, attendees will gain deep understanding about the enormous opportunities that exist in East Asia, South Asia, and Asia as a whole.
