World exhibition organisers confirm confidence in Thailand's strong potential as exhibition destination

BANGKOK, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Exhibition Industry Summit 2024, the first exclusive event held by Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB, was a major success. Executives of leading exhibition organisations from Europe and Asia expressed strong confidence in Thailand's potential and readiness to become the preferred exhibition destination. The executives attributed their confidence to the Thai government's clear policy to promote the exhibition industry, the country's excellent infrastructure, open business culture, and renowned hospitality. While looking for growing business networks with local Thai partners, the participants also recommended that local industry adopt advanced digital technologies to serve the changing needs of the exhibition industry.

The recent Exhibition Industry Summit 2024's theme "See Tomorrow Now" was intended for delegates and participants to clearly envision future business opportunities in Thailand. The insights attendee gained will be a catalyst for their business plan formulation to capture those opportunities by using exhibitions as the springboard.

Mr. Chiruit Isarangkun Na Ayuthaya, TCEB's President, said, "The Exhibition Industry Summit 2024 was a great success and will bring huge benefits to Thailand. This was the first time that the leaders and key decision-makers of leading exhibition organisers from Europe and Asia met in Thailand to obtain insights about Thailand's vision and exhibition industry development direction directly from Thailand's top decision-makers. This is really important to their future decision on venue selection for big events. We also received valuable recommendations on areas of development to propel the exhibition industry forwards while effectively addressing the changing needs in the global market."

During the event, TCEB, led by Mr. Prasert Jantararuangtong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Economy and Society, and Dr. Pasu Loharjun, Chairman of the Board of TCEB, brought the world's exhibition leaders to pay a courtesy call on the Thai Prime Minister, Ms. Paetongtarn Shinawatra, at the Government House. The Prime Minister confirmed the government's full support to drive the growth and success of the business sector, paving the way for Thailand to become the top exhibition destination. She added that the government is building the One Stop Service System to enhance convenience for exhibition activities, which will encourage innovation development and, thus, boost national economic growth sustainably.

The leaders also joined the roundtable discussion with key figures of the Thai government, including the Vice Minister for Tourism and Sport, Deputy Secretary to the Prime Minister, the Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, the Chairman of the Industrial Estate of Thailand, the President and CEO of Export-Import Bank of Thailand, and the Director of the Division of International Industrial Economics under the Ministry of Industry. During the discussion, the representatives from the Thai government reiterated the importance of the exhibition industry as a key economic driver and a magnet to draw more foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country. The exhibition industry also supports the development of related businesses. All of these are aligned with the government's policy to promote the tourism industry which already contributes 12 per cent to the Thai GDP, with a focus on high-value tourism, including the exhibition industry.

Following the roundtable discussion was a forum at which in-depth information and the potential of Thailand, insights on high-growth industries and trends in the exhibition industry were shared. The forum included keynote speeches on "Shaping Thailand's Future in the Global Value Chain" by speakers from the International Financial Corporation and the Thailand Development and Research Institute, a panel discussion on "Thailand's Economic Potential and Integration into ASEAN: Future Frontiers" by leading figures from the medical and health, Fintech and technology and automotive sectors, and a discussion on "Exhibition Industry Strengths and Emerging Trends" by exhibition industry leaders.

The speakers also highlighted three trends and opportunities that will enhance competitiveness. Firstly, the customised service trend requiring exhibition organisers to create impressive experiences and better address the changing lifestyle. As people need more work-life balance, exhibition organisers will have to provide facilities and services, including telecommunication service, that enable visitors to stay connected while participating in an exhibition. Secondly, organisers should adopt AI in many areas, e.g. Big Data management, translation of content, etc. Thirdly, the venue selection. The venue should not only provide good facilities, but also make participants feel welcome. As Thailand already has excellent infrastructure, various activities out of hotels and superb hospitality, the country will be able to respond to the trends.

TCEB also presented Thailand as the sustainable high-value-added destination, as evidenced by the use of hybrid vehicles and electric boats for delegate transport, a gala dinner menu using local ingredients, and optimising food ingredients to minimise waste. Meanwhile, Thai culture was celebrated through event decorations with authentic Thai art, Thai food, Khon mask performance and a puppet show that interacted with the participants, representing a perfect blend between business and culture, making for an impressive experience.

After the Exhibition Industry Summit 2024, TCEB expects to draw approximately 60 new international exhibitions to Thailand throughout the next three years (2025-2027), which will generate 7,425 million baht to the country, and attract 426,000 international and local visitors. Economic value created by travellers attending exhibitions in Thailand is expected to reach 11,649 million baht.

World exhibition organisers confirm confidence in Thailand's strong potential as exhibition destination

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock, the global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, became the most awarded Robotic Vacuum Brand at CES 2026, after announcing its new product line-up for the first half of the year. Under the theme "The Greatest Meeting the Greatest", the brand's keynote presentation led by Roborock's President, Quan Gang, unveiled the Saros Rover, the world's first robotic vacuum with AI-powered wheel-leg architecture that can both navigate stairs and slopes with human-like agility while cleaning them.

Announcements also included the Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, Roborock F25 ACE Pro, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. These launches happened in partnership with Real Madrid Football Club for the Vacuum Cleaner category, announced ahead of the show's starting date.

Roborock also announced separate to the Real Madrid partnership its entry into the US market for lawnmower products, including the new RockMow X1 LiDAR. Consumers, clients, and interested parties can visit Roborock's Booth #52632 at Venetian Expo CES 2026 from January 6 to January 9th during show hours.

Roborock Saros Rover - The World's First Wheel-Leg Robovac

In a world-first, Roborock introduced at CES 2026 the Roborock Saros Rover, featuring the world's first two-wheel-leg architecture in a robovac. Each wheel-leg provides reach, lift, height, and imitates human mobility, enabling the robot to raise and lower each one of the wheel-legs independently, execute small jumps, agile turns, sudden stops, and directional changes, all while maintaining a level body as the ground changes.

At a software level, Saros Rover harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, in conjunction with complex motion sensors and 3D spatial information to understand its environment and make its wheel-legs react with precision.

The Saros Rover excels in multi-storey homes, where it is able to clean each one of the steps of a staircase as it goes to the second floor, dramatically reducing "no-go" zones and transitioning into cleaning areas previously inaccessible for homes with a single robovac.

The Saros Rover is able to tackle several types of non-flat surfaces, with staircases being the most obvious one. This includes not only traditional staircases but also curved staircases, or even carpeted staircases with bullnose fronts, all while cleaning each one of their steps as it navigates through them. Other types of surfaces that Saros Rover is able to tackle include slopes as well as complex multi-level room thresholds requiring height and power.  Saros Rover is a real product in development with an unconfirmed launch date.

The Greatest Meeting The Greatest - Roborock and Real Madrid Football Club join hands

Announced days before the show's beginning, Roborock presents at CES its first activation within the strategic global partnership with Real Madrid Football Club's First Men and First Women teams, widely ranked as one of the greatest football clubs in history. The partnership is solely related to Roborock's extensive portfolio of Vacuum Cleaner products and excludes other product lines from the brand. Under the umbrella theme of "The Greatest Meeting The Greatest", the partnership responds to a deep affinity between the brand ethos of both organizations, which have achieved remarkable historical performance with innovation as common denominator. The partnership will bring Roborock's smart-cleaning innovations to life through stadium exposure, campaigns and player-led storytelling that translate the meaning of "Real Smart Cleaning" from the pitch to the home.

Roborock's early 2026 Robovac line-up: Roborock Saros 20, Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow

At its keynote, Clarbi Lu, product marketing lead at Roborock, unveiled new smart cleaning products launching in the first half of the year. Leading the lineup are the Roborock Saros 20 and Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, the latest flagship models in the Saros Series. Saros 20 upgrades the StarSight™ Autonomous System 2.0 with enhanced AI object recognition and a new AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 for improved threshold climbing. Saros 20 Sonic adds RetractSense™ Navigation, an ultra-slim body, and the VibraRise® 5.0 Mopping System. Both use a 35,000 Pa HyperForce® motor and a new RockDock®. The Qrevo Series also expands with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.

Rockmow X1 LiDAR, X1, RockNeo Q1 lead the Roborock North American Roll-Out of Lawnmowers

Roborock has announced its North American expansion into the lawnmower category with three key models. The flagship RockMow X1 LiDAR features Sentisphere™ LiDAR Environmental Perception, 4WD traction, and Active Steering for flawless coverage. Alternatively, the RockMow X1 utilizes RTK and VSLAM navigation alongside a Dynamic Suspension System for industry-leading edge cutting. For smaller gardens, the entry-level RockNeo Q1 makes smart care accessible by combining RTK + VSLAM navigation with Stereo Vision Obstacle Avoidance.
