Thailand has been selected to host the 17th Electronic Circuits World Convention (ECWC17) in August 2027, marking the first time the event will be held in ASEAN.
The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), in collaboration with the Thailand Printed Circuit Association (THPCA), has announced that Bangkok will host the 17th Electronic Circuits World Convention (ECWC17) from August 18–20, 2027. The event will take place at the BITEC exhibition center alongside the Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia 2027 (THECA 2027) exhibition.
According to Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the BOI, this selection marks the first time the convention—which originated in London—will be held within the ASEAN region. The organizers aim to attract over 3,000 participants, including industry leaders from more than 30 countries, to showcase advancements in printed circuit board (PCB) technology and AI hardware.
For residents and business travelers, this event highlights Thailand’s growing role as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and hardware development.

While the event is confirmed, specific details regarding public access, registration requirements, and potential traffic impacts around the BITEC area remain to be finalized as the date approaches. This convention serves as a significant milestone for Thailand’s industrial strategy, positioning the nation as a key player in the global electronics supply chain.
