THE city was once known as the Venice of the
East for its intricate waterway system, on or
near which most of its population lived.
Bangkok is now the beating economic heart of
Thailand.
And for just a few days this month, the city’s
BITEC centre will play host to the wire and cable
industry as wire Southeast Asia throws open its
doors from 16th to 18th September.
The city became a major regional force in
finance and business following the Asian
business boom in the 1980s and 90s. The
importance of this has not been lost on the wire
and cable community.
Continued growth throughout Southeast Asia
makes this one of the most important shows in
the exhibition calendar, which attracts more
than 400 exhibitors across the three days.
16 th – 18th September – 11th International Wire and Cable
Trade Fair for Southeast Asia
