N.C.C. Management & Development Co., Ltd. (NCC), the operator of the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), together with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, government agencies and private-sector partners, is set to organize the 31st 12 August Half Marathon Bangkok 2026 (Run for Mom 2026) on 12th August 2026.

Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) continues to enhance its capabilities in supporting international exhibitions and events with the launch of its Bonded Warehouse service for international exhibitions and events. As the first city-center venue in Bangkok to offer such a facility, this milestone marks a significant step in strengthening logistics infrastructure and event support services, enabling smoother temporary import procedures while enhancing Thailand’s event ecosystem and competitiveness as a global destination for exhibitions and events.

Mr. Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), welcomed Mr. Kenji Okamura, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), during  a  visit  to review the progress of preparations for the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings. Preparations are progressing according to plan as Thailand prepares to host the Meetings from 12–18 October 2026 at QSNCC.

Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC)  is advancing its sustainability efforts through a strategic partnership with PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (PTTGC). Under the “From Kitchen to Creation” initiative, used cooking oil generated from on-site food operations is collected and converted into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)—a cleaner energy source that plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions from the aviation industry. This initiative reinforces QSNCC’s position as a green convention center that meets international standards and supports sustainable events, while contributing to broader efforts to drive environmentally responsible practices across the MICE industry.
