The ESOMAR that was and the one that wasn’t.
ESOMAR in Bangkok never happened. But Finn and his magical staff pulled off a neat hat trick by moving their convention from strife torn Bangkok, Thailand to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ten days before the convention all signals were go. Attendees received notice on a Friday that we had the green light. On Monday things had gone south, both the political climate in Bangkok, and ESOMAR.
We were sad that the InterContinental Hotel lost us. Our understanding is that the team at ESOMAR made the right call. The Inter Continental was the scene of riots and violence. We do not understand the issues in Bangkok but wish peace to that city and its people.
