Where technology meets environmental stewardship.

ICSIFT brings researchers, academics, industry professionals and policymakers into one room to test ideas that make development last. This edition’s theme, Sustainable Innovation: Bridging Technology and Environmental Stewardship, asks how new technology can repair, not just extract.

Papers are presented in person in Bangkok, Thailand or online, reviewed by the committee, and recommended to indexed journals and proceedings.

Arriving

Bangkok is served by Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK) airports. From Suvarnabhumi, the Airport Rail Link, a taxi or a transfer reaches the centre in 30 to 45 minutes; from Don Mueang, allow 30 to 50 minutes by taxi, bus or ride-hailing.

Getting around

The BTS Skytrain and MRT cover most of the city. Taxis, Grab and tuk-tuks are easy to find, and the Chao Phraya Express Boat runs along the river.
