The Bangkok Ad & Sign Expo 2024, the Bangkok Digital Textile Print Expo 2024, and the Bangkok Pack & Label Expo 2024 will make waves this year, hosted by the illustrious Grand Master Exhibition Company Limited in collaboration with the Thai Advertising Business Development Association (TABDA) and the Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (TGMA). This year’s theme, “Ignite Your Ideas,” promises a spark of innovation from November 7 to 10 at Hall 6-7, Impact, Muang Thong Thani.
Spreading out over an impressive 10,000 square meters of exhibition heaven, you’ll find 80 leading distributors from Thailand and across the globe, notably China and Japan, showcasing more than 250 booths filled to the brim with cutting-edge digital printing technology. Expect to marvel at the 2025 models from big names like Epson, HP, Roland, and Canon, and witness the groundbreaking innovations from MIMAKI making their Thai debut, brought to you by Technology 2024 Company Limited. But that’s not all – dive deep into a sea of knowledge with intensive seminars and workshops designed to turbocharge the aptitudes of your advertising production business. With an expected surge of 10,000 visitors, the event is set to generate a colossal trading value between 950 to 1,000 million baht.
Kasem Dusadeeprasert, the dynamic Managing Director of Grand Master Exhibition Co., Ltd., shares, “Our previous exhibitions were a roaring success, drawing over 5,500 local enthusiasts and international participants from 32 countries, including Laos, China, Malaysia, Japan, Cambodia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Myanmar, India, and Canada, with a trading value soaring beyond 800 million baht.” Riding the waves of this monumental success, Grand Master Exhibition Co., Ltd. has teamed up once again with TABDA and TGMA to present a trio of phenomenal expos: the Bangkok Ad & Sign Expo 2024, flaunting the latest in outdoor displays, signage, vehicle and building wraps; the Bangkok Digital Textile Print Expo 2024, highlighting textile screen printing, apparel, sportswear, and computerized embroidery; and the Bangkok Pack & Label Expo 2024, focusing on innovative paper packaging and label printing.
Within the colossal 10,000-square-meter exhibition venue, visitors will embark on a journey through more than 1,000 top-tier Thai brand distributors. From signage and outdoor displays to textile printing, apparel, sportswear, packaging, and labels, every segment of the industry will be represented with cutting-edge innovations, machinery, materials, and exclusive expo pricing. And wait, there’s more! This is your ticket to unlock a treasure trove of insights through seminars and workshops absolutely designed for the masterminds behind advertising production businesses.
This year, the organizers are amplifying the excitement with an irresistible incentive: two dazzling prizes featuring the state-of-the-art MIMAKI CG-60AR cutting plotter, the pride of Japanese engineering, each valued at 84,000 baht. To snag one, visitors just need to complete their pre-registration online and enter the lucky draw!
Kasem highlighted the surge in outdoor media and mobile displays which accounted for 16 percent of the total advertising value, equivalent to a staggering 17.878 billion baht. “Our expos are drawing pre-registered visitors from Southeast Asia, attracted by the unbeatable convenience and lower costs compared to China. Thailand’s distribution companies are primed to provide stellar support for visitors from CLMV countries, encouraging them to explore more of our beautiful country and thus, boosting our travel industry,” enthused Kasem.
Yotsaton Kijkusol, President of the Thai Garment Manufacturers Association (TGMA), couldn’t hide his enthusiasm. “TGMA’s been a pillar of support for this event for three years straight. Our members are keened to stay ahead of the curve in embroidery and printing innovations. We are pushing towards smart factories, adopting new technologies that promise cost-savings, enhanced efficiency, and labor optimization,” he explained with a twinkle in his eye.
The energetic Acting Sub Lt. Kittichai Witharnthamrong, President of TABDA, announced, “At the Bangkok Ad & Sign Expo 2024, participants can dive into workshops covering essential topics like CNC machine operations, neon flex light integration, and 3D metal signage innovations. Plus, there’s a discussion forum to gear up entrepreneurs for the anticipated influx of Chinese investments in the Thai market. We’re all set to arm signage shops with cutting-edge tech to maximize their production value.”

The Bangkok Ad & Sign Expo sounds like an incredible opportunity for businesses in the digital printing field. I wish I could attend this year!
Totally agree, Chris! This expo is a goldmine for anyone looking to stay ahead in the industry.
Don’t be fooled by the hype. These expos are often more about networking than actual innovation.
Networking is also crucial! Connecting with industry leaders can open doors you didn’t even know existed.
Isn’t it a bit overrated? I mean, can’t we just get this information online?
It’s more than information, Sandra. Hands-on experience with new tech can’t be replaced by online articles.
Plus, the seminars and workshops are invaluable. You can’t get that kind of intensive training elsewhere.
Fair points, I guess. But it still feels like a lot of travel and expense for a few days.
It’s all a ploy to get you to buy new equipment you don’t really need.
That’s a bit cynical. Sure, they want to sell, but isn’t that the point of an expo?
I get it, but you have to question the real value. Do these new models really deliver revolution or just minor upgrades?
The prize draw for the MIMAKI CG-60AR cutting plotter is definitely a highlight. Worth attending just for that chance!
Absolutely, Andy! That plotter is top-of-the-line. Imagine getting it for free!
True, but the odds of winning are probably slim. Still, it’s a fun incentive.
Better odds than not entering at all!
Did anyone else notice the focus on ‘smart factories’? That’s the real future here, not just the tech on display.
Larry, you’re on point. Automation and smart technologies are what’s going to reshape the industry.
Indeed. It’s not just about new gadgets but how they integrate into smarter workflows.
Glad to see we agree. This aspect often gets overlooked amid all the shiny new gear.
I’ve attended before, and these expos are well worth the trip! It’s inspiring to see what’s coming next in digital printing.
Great to know, Maggie. What stood out to you the most during your visit?
The hands-on demos are fantastic. You can see the machines in action and ask questions directly to the experts.
I wonder how many small businesses can actually afford to implement these innovations. They sound expensive!
Exactly, Joe. It’s all well and good for big companies, but smaller ones might struggle.
True, but investing in the latest tech can also lead to cost savings and higher efficiency in the long run.
Can’t wait to see what insights the seminars bring. The industry’s moving so fast, it’s hard to keep up!
Same here, Lara. The workshops are usually packed with actionable advice.
Anyone planning to bring kids to this? Wondering if there are any family-friendly aspects.
Good question, Janet! Would be nice if they had some activities for kids to engage in.
The surge of visitors sounds both exciting and daunting. Crowded expos can be exhausting.
Yeah, Marie, it’s always a bit of a trade-off. But the energy is pretty infectious!
I’m curious about the paper packaging innovations. Sustainable packaging is the future!
10,000 visitors? I hope it doesn’t turn into a logistical nightmare.
Has anyone attended the workshops by the TABDA before? Are they worth the hype?
I hope they emphasize eco-friendly technologies. The industry needs to focus more on sustainability.
I think the real winners here are the local hotels and restaurants. Massive business boost for them.
Excited to see what new trends will be showcased. Digital printing is evolving so fast!
Any recommendations on how to prepare for this event? It sounds huge!
Online pre-registration seems convenient, but I wonder if it really speeds things up.
The industry’s move towards smart factories is a game-changer. Can’t wait to see these presentations.
Let’s be real, these expos are just as much about the social scene as they are about the tech.
