Types of Events

The Breakfast Talks are usually held by the GTCC itself or in cooperation with other chambers. The discussions and presentations aim to gain a deeper insight into a specific topic, inform about new business opportunities and highlight best practices. Breakfast Talks are open for event partnerships with companies that are interested in presenting their products and services in a topic-related format.

The Business Luncheons are usually organized by GTCC itself or in cooperation with other chambers. The discussions and presentations are held over a lunch and address subjects such as trade, economy but also political aspects that are relevant for German and Thai companies. The speakers are usually high-ranking representatives from the business community or politics.

Throughout the year GTCC organizes seminars and workshops on current and relevant topics related to trade and business. Our network comes together to exchange ideas and to receive new insights on contemporary issues from industry experts and business representatives.

Another format organized by the GTCC is Briefings, which are held at regular intervals, either independent or in conjunction with an Afterwork Networking in Bangkok or an ESB Event in Pattaya. These Briefings address current and relevant topics from various industries represented by GTCC members.

In close cooperation with our member companies, GTCC organizes regular site visits to companies. These visits allow our members to gain an insight into the premises and operational routine of another company.

The special meeting provides a unique opportunity to network and establish important connections with up to 15 key decision-makers, including representatives from newly joined member companies and new representatives, through a one-by-one introduction format. This meeting is held quarterly at the GTCC headquarters.

GTCC AFTERWORK is our regular business networking event, providing an excellent platform for both members and non-members to connect, build new relationships, and engage with like-minded individuals and partners. The event typically follows a Briefing presented by a GTCC member company. Special AFTERWORK events include the Tri-Nation Edition and the annual Christmas networking event in December.

The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Networking is a monthly event in Pattaya hosted by one of the 10 leading chambers. GTCC hosts twice a year and invites members and business contacts from the communities of the leading chambers. There are about 100 to 150 C-level guests represented at each ESB networking event.

Every year in October/November we bring the renowned Munich Oktoberfest to Bangkok, celebrating the annual festival with more than 1,000 guests. GTCC Oktoberfest is the one and only AUTHENTIC GERMAN EXPERIENCE you could find in Thailand. It features live entertainment from Germany in the original atmosphere with wooden Festzelt-benches, people in traditional Bavarian outfits, a wide range of delicious German feasts, the genuine Oktoberfest beers as well as a Bavarian band and an after-party with live DJ to exclusively deliver our guests the best Oktoberfest experience.

The annual Ordinary General Meeting (OGM) includes the election of new Directors to the Board for a full two-year term. In addition to the new Board members, a new President and Vice President will be elected every two years.
