AIS Academy is preparing a major AI seminar and exhibition called AIS Academy For THAIs 2026, running September 11–12, 2026 at Samyan Mitrtown Hall under the theme "Mastering AI Beyond Borders." The event brings together speakers and experts from leading global technology partners and organizations to share knowledge and experience, with hands-on workshops and masterclasses focused on practical learning through real-world use cases. Participants will have the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technology firsthand, supported by collaborations between government, education, the private sector, and partners including the National Innovation Agency and the Knowledge Management and Development Office to connect learning with implementation and innovation.

Kantima Lueluert Yuttitham, AIS Executive Vice President for Corporate Business, stated that AIS Academy is ready to adjust its development programs to match Thailand's challenges at each stage, from the COVID period through the aging society and now as AI rapidly transforms the economy, work, and daily life. Rather than just learning AI tools, the focus is on building AI capability so people can learn, adapt, ask questions, collaborate with AI, and create productivity, business growth, innovation, and opportunities responsibly and knowledgeably. AIS Academy For THAIs aims to help Thais understand, use, comprehend, apply, and create value from AI to make it a force for strengthening the nation's competitiveness without limits to knowledge, skills, profession, age, location, or access to information.

The two-day event features diverse AI activities including learning from global experts such as those from AWS, BytePlus, Canva, Google, Huawei, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Pearson, Samsung, and ZTE, plus over 30 industry specialists; hands-on workshops and masterclasses covering more than 20 sessions with real use cases; AI Interactive Experience booths allowing participants to see and experience cutting-edge technology; and three main content pillars—AI Ready Thailand for national and industry readiness, AI Ready Business for Thai business sector readiness, and AI Ready Skills for Thai workforce development—covering Thailand's AI future, organizational adaptation, and workplace preparation.
