N.C.C. Announces QSNCC Closure 11-18 Oct 2026 for IMF-World Bank Meetings
Queen Sirikit National Convention Center will temporarily close from 11-18 October 2026 for the 2026 IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings, reinforcing Thailand's MICE potential.
The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, or QSNCC, has announced a temporary closure of all areas between 11 and 18 October 2026 to prepare the venue and security systems for hosting the 2026 IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings, a global event Thailand is honoured to host. Service users and the general public will not be able to enter the centre's premises throughout this period. This information was released by N.C.C Management and Development, the venue operator.
All Areas Closed 11 to 18 October 2026
QSNCC stated that this closure covers all parts of the building, not just the zones used for the meetings, to ensure that security preparations and facilitation for international delegates meet global standards. Organisers scheduled to use the space during this period should therefore check their schedules and plan ahead. The centre will resume normal operations on 19 October 2026.

Thailand Hosts Global Meetings After 35 Years
The 2026 IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings is a global event that Thailand is honoured to host again after 35 years. This reflects the country's readiness as a destination for large-scale meetings and events, and reinforces the potential of Thailand's MICE sector in the eyes of delegates and attendees from around the world. QSNCC requests the public's cooperation in avoiding travel to the area during the closure period to be a part of welcoming this important event.
This news is of interest to organisers and organisations planning to use the QSNCC space in mid-October 2026, who will need to adjust their schedules in advance. This also includes hotel workers and nearby business operators, who should prepare for heavy traffic and stricter security measures during that period.
