Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026) runs at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok until Sunday 15 November 2026, and admission is free. For incentive and corporate groups already in Bangkok this week, it is an easy half-day visit with a sustainability theme. Explera DMC Thailand explains what is on, what has been confirmed and how it fits CSR-led incentive programmes for 2027.
Explera handles ground arrangements as a Thailand DMC for travel agents. Its Thai company, Explera DMC Co., Ltd., holds TAT licence 14/05119, the Tourism Business Licence issued by the Department of Tourism, and the group is IATA TIDS-registered (96215733) and a member of ASTA (900408341).

What is Sustainability Expo 2026?
SX2026 is the seventh edition of an annual sustainability exhibition at QSNCC, running for ten days from 6 to 15 November 2026 under the theme "Resilience in Action". Nation Thailand reports that it is organised by the SX2026 Organizing Committee with support from the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), and that its founding partners include ThaiBev, Charoen Pokphand Group, PTT, SCG, Frasers Property (Thailand), Thai Union Group and the Thailand Supply Chain Network. The organisers call it ASEAN's largest sustainability event. That is their description; we have not seen an attendance forecast for this edition.
What can a group see in the last days?
The organisers' press release says admission is free throughout the exhibition and that it opens from 10:00 to 20:00. One new feature is an immersive nature exhibition built from National Geographic photography and sound, which takes visitors through the Amazon and Mekong river basins. The release describes it as its ASEAN debut, and it sits in the SX Prologue zone on the ground floor. The SX Talk Stage carries more than 60 panel sessions, according to Nation Thailand. On 12 November four days remain, Thursday to Sunday, and the weekend will be the busiest. Confirm the hours and any zone you want to book before you add a visit to a group programme.
How does SX2026 fit a CSR-led incentive?
Many corporate clients now ask for a sustainability element in an incentive, and a free public expo is a light way to add one: a guided two-to-three-hour visit, then lunch, without changing the rest of the programme. QSNCC is on the MRT Blue Line, so it is easy to reach from Sukhumvit and Silom hotels. A Thailand DMC can build that into a Bangkok day and add a hands-on activity, such as a community or conservation visit, for clients who want more than an exhibition. Our MICE and incentive team plans these days, and our sustainable events post explains Thailand's standards for greener meetings.
What does it mean for 2027 planning?
Treat SX as a recurring Bangkok event, but do not assume its dates. The 2025 edition ran from 26 September to 5 October 2025 at the same venue, so the slot moved by more than a month this year. We have not seen dates for a 2027 edition. If a client wants to build an autumn 2027 programme around it, hold the plan loosely and reconfirm once the organisers announce. The rest of Bangkok's trade-event calendar is in our Bangkok guide, and every service a Thailand DMC can run for your group is on our Thailand DMC services page.
