Therefore, these three factors will be the main basis in the course/program development between the University and Impact and signifies the university’s intention to address the issues of the labor market. The “Event Management” program is the first and only program offered in Thailand where the course is designed by experts in the MICE industry such as IMPACT. The program, therefore, focuses on fulfilling the potential of new graduates and raises the level of experience in the MICE industry thanks to internship projects with IMPACT. Graduates will receive quality education and an intensive on-the-job learning experience along with English proficiency. Additionally, graduates learn in a multicultural environment while studying at Stamford International University. This provides a perfect platform for the ASEAN Economic Community as many corporations are looking for graduates with not just English language skills but also personnel with an international mindset and ability to work in a cross-cultural environment.

IMPACT is a national leader in organizing various international events and exhibitions and there is always a need to work with people from different countries. What IMPACT emphasizes when recruiting is not only those with good skills and experience but also English communication skills to work in an international environment. Past collaborations between Stamford and industry leaders have shown that companies recruit our students even before graduation because of excellent language skills and the creative mindset that helps the development of the organization.” 

Mr. Loy Joon How, General Manager of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., Muang Thong Thani said : “I am pleased to announce our “Local Partnership Strategy” with Stamford International University. As many of you are aware, the MICE industry is an important part of Thailand’s tourism sector, contributing important economic benefits to the country. There are a lot of growth opportunities in the MICE industry, and Thailand has the most potential for hosting large-scale events in South East Asia. In fact, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB)’s vision is to position Thailand as an important MICE hub in ASEAN. The member countries will coordinate in the development of the MICE industry to be competitive enough to attract more MICE clients from Europe and the US. IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Muang Thong Thani has always been chosen as a preferable venue for all kind of events including trade shows, conferences, seminars, weddings, concerts, get-together parties, sports competitions, and other special activities, hosting over 1,000 events annually with more than 15 million MICE visitors from Thailand and overseas, resulting in the growing labor market demand.
