Northern MICE Integrated Drive - Solopreneur Show & Tell (Registration)

A full day at Cult Caffeine in Wat Ket, sponsored by TCEB, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau.

The morning is talks and panels on remote work and what it has done to Chiang Mai. Speaking are the researchers behind that work and the Thai agency writing the policy.

In the afternoon the same room turns over to the Solopreneur Show & Tell. Ten people who spent a month building here take the stage for five minutes each, with three judges responding to every one. Some will pitch a business with paying customers. Some will talk about what the month taught them.

Registration covers the whole day. Come for one session or stay for all of it.
