Meet in Bangkok, or online all year.
GCN meetings happen in two places: a curated two-day event in Bangkok, and online sector rounds all year. Both use the same mutual-interest matching, so every meeting is one both sides asked for.

Online sector matching rounds
Each quarter we plan a round for one or two sectors. Members' open intents are matched, both sides opt in, and the meetings are held as 1:1 video calls. No travel, and a pipeline between Bangkok editions.

|---|---|---|
| Q1 2027 | Aerospace & UAV | Planned |
| Q2 2027 | Mobility & EV, Wind, Energy & Hydrogen | Planned |
| Q3 2027 | Defense & Security, Marine & Infrastructure | Planned |

One profile, every format.
Your GCN profile and open intents carry across online rounds and Bangkok. Online plans and event packages both guarantee a number of meetings, and a guaranteed meeting that does not happen is refunded at its per-meeting rate. Online costs less per meeting; Bangkok adds the hosted, in-person journey. How matching works
