SHAPING THE FUTURE.
FROM ASIA TO THE WORLD.
The IFEAT 2024 Bangkok Conference was held at the Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park Hotel, which is centrally located downtown at 199, Sukhumvit Soi 2, Klong Ton, Klong Toey, Bangkok.
We returned to Asia to celebrate 47 years of IFEAT. As ever, our annual gathering of the IFEAT community from across the global essential oils, flavour and fragrance industry was one of the most anticipated events of the year.
We had exclusive use of all event space within the hotel and access to 1300 bedrooms including suites, Conference areas, several restaurants, and bars – offering everything you would expect from a top hotel in Asia.
The Conference programme consisted of speaker presentations in the plenary on all four mornings from Monday to Thursday, a trade exhibition, workshops and roundtables. Additionally, the Conference included private company meeting rooms, meeting tables and ample networking areas.
Located in the heart of Asia with a population of over 11 million people, Bangkok is by far the biggest city in Thailand and is very cosmopolitan, with over 190 nationalities represented by almost 150 diplomatic missions. Pre-pandemic, Bangkok had 12 million visitors creating 30 million overnight hotel stays every year.
The beauty and culture of Bangkok together with colleagues and friends, provided the perfect opportunity to network and share our insights.
The theme for the 2024 Conference was “Shaping the Future, from Asia to the World.”
Asia is the largest consumer in the world of essential oils and aroma products, so developments in this region are hugely important for our industry.
Speakers discussed changing consumer behaviour in Asia as well as developments in agriculture across the region and how these will change the way we view naturals in the future.
