FESTIVAL : MORE HIGHLIGHTS AND A FEW TIPS
ADFEST wants you to have the most fulfilling time possible over the next few days. Here are some highlights we don’t want you to miss:
The Welcome Party: A chance to meet, eat, share a drink and chat with people from across the region. Perhaps meet some new friends and make new contacts too. At the Infini Pool, Grand Wing on Thursday, 23 March at 17.30. The Welcome Party is sponsored by the Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce. Don’t forget to drop your note of thanks for who or what helped you to Rise through the challenges these past few years.
The After Party: Our thank you to everyone who came to ADFEST 2023 and it a special reawakening. At the Infini Pool, Beach Wing, Saturday 25 March at 20.00, following the Awards presentation. It’s the perfect finale before heading back to reality and a farewell (for now) to the sun, sea & sand of Pattaya.
The ADFEST APP + QR codes: The ADFEST app is your on-the-go guide to what’s happening where and when. “Our app is designed to help people get the most out of this year’s festival with a complete program guide, all the latest news, photos and videos, real-time notifications, plus access to ADFEST Connect,” says Kem Suraphongchai, Festival Director of ADFEST. “It’s also the best place to find out if you’ve been nominated as a finalist this year, or won a Lotus Award, because we’ll publish all shortlists and winners lists.” Download it from the App Store here. You will see QR codes in various places at PEACH. These will take you to Daily Buzz, the ADFEST newsletter.
