Pride Show 2026, Asia's first LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ business expo, will be held at BEAT Active in Bitec, Bang Na-Trat Road, Bangkok, this Friday and Saturday.
Held with the support by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, Deutsche Bank and a coalition of domestic and international partners, the event marks the region's largest business and cultural gathering of the LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ community during Pride Month.
Over two days, the programme centres on B2B ESG forums, workshops on translating diversity into corporate and national competitiveness, and the advancement of the so-called Pink Economy, alongside international exhibition spaces spanning commerce, society and culture -- including Drag Arena International, staged in partnership with Yellow Channel.
The event aims to be an economic platform that systematically connects multinational corporations, publicly listed companies, government agencies, and LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+-owned small and medium enterprises. It features keynote addresses from senior business leaders and is headlined by a symbolic bell-ringing ceremony, "Ring The Bell For LGBTIQ+ Equality 2026", opening Thailand's agenda for LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ economic equality on Friday at 5pm.
The programme also features panel discussions on diversity and sustainability, performances by leading queer artists under the Thailand's Drag Stars banner, a Pink Market for commercial innovation and creative goods running throughout the event, and Drag Arena International 2026 featuring 11 performers from six Asian countries.
Business executives, investors, entrepreneurs and other interested parties are invited to take part in this milestone for the diversity economy.
The acronym LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer/Questioning, Curious, Asexual, Pansexual, Gender-Nonconforming, Gender-Fluid, Non-Binary and Androgynous. The “+” is an inclusive symbol that represents all additional, unlisted gender identities and sexual orientations.
