Mr. Paul Kanjanapas, Managing Director of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co, Ltd., the operator of IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Muang Thong Thani, revealed that the number of events held at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani in the first quarter of this year grew by almost 20%, with a total of 283 events generating total revenue of 790 million baht (In the first quarter of 2014, the company hosted a total of 236 events and earned total revenue of 555 million baht.). The company hosted 93 events in January, 82 events in February and 108 events in March. The top 5 events were meetings and seminars (90), weddings (50), parties (41), outside catering (38), and exhibitions and consumer fairs (18), respectively. 

IMPACT also sees a growing number in concerts, with 17 concerts held at IMPACT in the first quarter of this year or an average of one concert per week. Meanwhile, the company hosted only five concerts in the same period last year. In addition, it is reported an increasing number of other events such as selective examination (8), TVC shooting (6), trade show (4) and special events (4). The 20% growth in number of events in the first quarter will help contribute to the company’s increased revenue for fiscal year 2014 (April 2014 – March 2015).

According to its Sales Department, IMPACT successfully reached the target of 1,000 events in fiscal year 2014, or a 20% increase from fiscal year 2013 in which the company hosted only 830 events. The top 5 events were meetings and seminars (356), weddings (169), outside catering (144), parties (104), and exhibitions and consumer fairs (71), respectively.

So far, the number of IMPACT-held events has already excessed the target which will help increase the company’s total revenues. Together with income from other businesses such as advertising space rental, event organizer services, hotel business (Novotel Bangkok IMPACT), food and beverage business, and restaurants, as well as increasing number of visitors, IMPACT is confident to achieve revenue target of 2.5 billion baht.
