Before Phuket Sundowners, BCCT members are invited to join an exclusive Phuket briefing session on the topic "PDPA & Data Privacy Readiness and AI Governance & Risk Readiness".

As AI and data-driven business models accelerate globally, local regulatory expectations in Thailand are rising. AI and digital platforms can create incredible value—but only when governance, privacy, controls, and accountability are designed from the start.

Supported by BDO, this briefing will take you from global trends to practical risk readiness.

What you will learn:

• The Thailand Landscape: Current business readiness and PDPA compliance.
• The AI & PDPA Link: Why AI relies on personal data and how to embed privacy controls.
• Risks & Impact: Navigating regulatory, reputational, and third-party exposure.
• Practical Steps: How to establish frameworks for responsible AI adoption and ensure your data flows meet privacy requirements.

Walk away understanding the critical link between AI, PDPA, and risk—and the exact steps your business needs to get ready.
