Manufacturing IT Summit Thailand 2027, the 36th edition of Exito’s flagship industrial technology series, is a single-track, IT-exclusive gathering bringing together 200+ senior manufacturing IT leaders and technology decision makers. As Thai factories move beyond pilots, agentic AI, private 5G, edge computing, and autonomous quality systems are reshaping operations, while PDPA is redefining IT-OT accountability. BOI’s semiconductor and EV push, EEC incentives, workforce challenges, and CBAM exposure are making digital infrastructure, automation, and cybersecurity board-level priorities. On 17 March 2027 in Bangkok, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, CDOs, and industrial technology leaders will explore scaling AI, securing OT, modernizing legacy systems, and building the human-AI operating model for ASEAN’s next manufacturing cycle.
The summit brings together Thailand’s manufacturing ecosystem to advance autonomous, human-centred factories, connecting IT and OT leaders, AI and automation innovators, technology providers, and government stakeholders around key Industry 4.0 and 5.0 priorities, including agentic AI, edge computing, private 5G, and resilient OT security.
