Welcome to the Information and Registration Page for the 2025 Bangkok International School Gateway Event!
We’re excited to invite you to this year’s Gateway Event, which will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the InterContinental Hotel, Ploenchit.
Unlike our previous education fairs, this October’s event will have a different format. While "fairs" typically include music, stage performances, and presentations, the Gateway Event is designed to offer a quieter, more focused environment. We plan to host our next full-scale fair in March 2025.
What makes the Gateway Event different?
This event is all about providing families with direct access to information about school options and pathways for their children. There will be no performances or live presentations to ensure that parents can fully engage in meaningful conversations with school representatives.
Instead of a printed event brochure, visitors will receive a simple floorplan with school booth listings upon entry. This layout is designed to help families easily navigate the event and connect with participating schools.
The March, 2025 education fair was a huge success, attracting over 1,150 registered families!

To improve the event experience, we’ve reduced the number of booths in the main ballroom (the one with the stage), allowing for a more spacious and comfortable setup than last year.
If the event space fills additional space in the 2025 fair's "Zone B" will be opened up to additional schools.
Schools may drop off items from 2:00pm - 8:00pm on Friday, the 17th of October, 2025. Meeting room space on the first floor of the hotel lobby will be available for dropping off items and storage for the following day. We recommend dropping off items on this day due to busy loading dock and service elevators for the movement of booth material on the morning before the event.
If function room space on the 4th floor (the level the event will be held) become available, we will let participating schools know.
Set Up will begin at 6am on the morning of the event (the 18th of October).
There is roughly one meter between each booth. Each booth is provided with four chairs (two for each side).
Booth Space size is 3x3 meters total.
Back Drops - Maximum height and width is 3x3 meters per booth.
