(Online) Curated Panel Conversation & Networking Experience
TEDxThonglorWomen presents an intimate, invite-only gathering bringing together a curated group of speakers, press, and selected guests for a high-level, thought-provoking conversation.
Unmuting Women in Thailand: Shaping Community, Capital, and Culture explores how women are shaping influence and opportunity across Thailand through three interconnected lenses:
Community — building safe, intentional spaces for deeper connection, support, and collaboration, while fostering cross-gender allyship
Capital — examining gender dynamics in venture capital and startup funding, including gaps and opportunities
Culture — exploring how social norms and systems shape women’s roles and long-term impact
The session will be conducted primarily in Thai with English integration, with translation provided to ensure an inclusive experience for all attendees.
Beyond the panel, this gathering offers a unique opportunity for selected guests to connect with a curated, cross-industry community of like-minded, growth-oriented leaders and changemakers who are committed to being part of the solution.
