Where the world meets in Bangkok: Discover our congress venue

From 22 to 25 March 2027, the ISPO 21st World Congress will bring the global community in prosthetics, orthotics, assistive technology and rehabilitation to Bangkok. Our venue will be IMPACT Forum, which is part of the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, one of Asia’s leading destinations for exhibitions, congresses and large-scale events.

Located in Muang Thong Thani just north of central Bangkok within the greater metropolitan area IMPACT offers more than 310,000 square metres of purpose-built space, combining modern exhibition halls, conference facilities, visitor services, hotels, restaurants and lifestyle areas within one integrated venue complex. The dedicated layout of IMPACT Forum ensures that World Congress sessions and the exhibition area are located in close proximity, allowing participants to move easily between sessions, networking activities, and the exhibition space.

A venue with international experience

IMPACT is used to welcoming major audiences from Thailand, Asia and beyond. Its event calendar spans a wide range of industries and formats, from international trade exhibitions to business conventions, corporate events and entertainment.

Recent examples include THAIFEX – ANUGA ASIA, one of Asia’s leading food and beverage trade shows, Asia Sourcing Show, a B2B platform for the textile and apparel industry, and major corporate conventions such as the AMWAY National Convention. IMPACT also regularly hosts high-profile meeting and incentive events for international participants across sectors.

This breadth of experience makes the venue a perfect setting for our event: a congress that brings together science, clinical practice, technology, education, industry and lived experience in one global forum.

More than a congress venue

For participants, IMPACT offers more than meeting rooms and exhibition halls. The venue is surrounded by restaurants, cafés, food courts and lifestyle spaces, including The Portal Lifestyle Complex, Cosmo Bazaar, BeeHive Lifestyle Mall and Outlet Square Muang Thong Thani. On-site and nearby hotel options, including Novotel Bangkok IMPACT and ibis Bangkok IMPACT, add further convenience for international visitors. Special rates for congress participants will be available at these two hotels.

Whether between sessions, after a congress day or during informal networking moments, participants will find a wide range of places to meet, eat, connect and unwind within and around the venue.

Connected and visitor-friendly

Getting to IMPACT is easy with the Pink Line monorail and direct sky bridge access to IMPACT Forum. Pedestrian bridges, shuttle services, parking facilities and visitor amenities such as Wi-Fi, luggage storage and first aid support are designed to make the experience smooth and comfortable.

Also, downtown Bangkok is easy to reach:

  • Approx. 30-to-45-minute drive by Taxi or Grab (outside rush hour). IMPACT’s suburban setting near the Chaeng Watthana Expressway provides convenient access.
  • Approx. 1 hour by public transportation. The MRT Pink Line is directly connected with the venue via Lake Muang Thong Station (MT02) and can be reached through a sky bridge. This option can be recommended during rush hours that often cause delay due to traffic jams.

Under the theme “A World Connected: Advancing Assistive Technologies for Global Equity”, ISPO 2027 will turn IMPACT into a meeting place for knowledge exchange, innovation and collaboration across the global rehabilitation community.
