WHY SĀN CONNECT

Good connections start with a clear need.

Review customer value, market fit, delivery capability and the potential for repeat purchases or wider use, supported by evidence from each business. We receive the Buyer brief, assess fit, develop readiness, arrange mutually accepted meetings and follow business progress.

Demand comes first

Start with sourcing objectives, specifications and the business need.

Relevance is reviewed

Review both profiles and progress when the interest is mutual.

Progress has a next step

Make room for samples, quotations, pilots and continued discussion.

OUR WORKING PRINCIPLES

Clear principles. Practical decisions.

Explore what our working principles mean for participants.

Mutual interestBoth sides have a voice in the match.

Relevant profiles are reviewed by both parties. A proposed match moves into scheduling after mutual acceptance and availability review.

Clear criteria and termsKnow what is being reviewed and what needs confirmation.

Selection considers business relevance and readiness. Package scope, meeting schedules and support follow the individual written confirmation.

Information handled with careShare what is relevant to the next conversation.

Provide the business information needed for review. Confidential documents, additional access and use of names or logos are agreed separately.

Follow-through with ownershipGive the next action an owner and a timeframe.

Meeting records identify actions and contacts. Follow-up checkpoints help participants record progress, questions and barriers together.

RESPONSIBLE PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT

Developing the programme responsibly.

These priorities guide programme planning and improvement.

Evidence-led preparation

Use sourced market information and actual participant requirements.

Responsible use of resources

Describe measurable improvements such as less spoilage, food loss, errors or resource use. Where data is available, give the baseline, measurement period and evidence.

Transparent communication

Distinguish proposed activities and support from confirmed arrangements.

Continuous improvement

Use participant feedback and follow-through records to refine the programme.

SĀN CARES

Good connections.
Thoughtful choices.

From the journey here to the glass in your hand, every choice deserves care. Explore what your choices could change.

01 · SMALL CHOICES, SHARED CARE

Care, made practical

These are planned approaches under discussion with the venue and service providers. Availability will be confirmed in programme information.

01

Compare your flight, then choose

Compare the same origin, destination, cabin and trip basis. Aircraft, routing and seat allocation can change an estimate; an airline name alone cannot tell you the saving.

Keep the itinerary, calculation source and date.

02

Rail, electric vehicles and shared journeys

Where the route works for you, consider rail or shared transport. Compare total distance, occupancy and the electricity source. Electric transport still has emissions from its energy supply.

Record passenger-kilometres and avoid counting one journey twice.

03

Refill, reuse, care for every serving

Plan accessible refill points and clean reusable glassware with the venue. The comparison includes glass manufacture spread across its expected uses, plus washing each time.

Record servings, lifetime uses, washing and breakage.

Good food, thoughtful portions

Plan meals around confirmed attendance and dietary needs. Replenish in smaller batches, separate edible surplus from food waste, and agree safe handling with the caterer.

Track meals served and kilograms of food discarded per meal.

05

Design for the next use

Consider rental furniture, modular displays and digital catalogues. Decide how each item will be collected, stored and reused before it is produced.

Separate rented, reused and newly produced materials.

02 · YOUR CARBON CHOICES

What could your choices save?

Estimated difference between two scenarios for selected activities, not a full event or personal carbon footprint.

Illustrative example: not actual or verified event savings.

Per person for the same complete trip, cabin and calculation scope. The example values 500 and 400 are illustrative, not airline data.

Reference example uses UK 2026 energy-related factors. These are not Thai rail or EV factors. Enter local provider data in “My scenario”.

One clean reusable glass replaces one disposable cup per serving. Production and washing assumptions are shown below; fewer lifetime uses can increase emissions.

Emission factors & assumptions

Cup values 0.030 / 0.600 / 0.005 are editable illustrative assumptions, not measured SĀN data. Allocate manufacture over realistic lifetime uses; washing includes water, energy and detergent. Transport excludes vehicle manufacture; neither activity includes carbon offsets.

How this estimate works · sources and boundaries

Difference = original emissions − selected emissions. Negative values mean an increase. The total includes only selected activities and multiplies each per-person result by the number of people once.

Flights use entered estimates for the same itinerary and methodological scope. Enter kg CO₂e on a consistent basis. ICAO’s calculator reports CO₂; do not label that result CO₂e or combine it here without a documented conversion and consistent boundary. ICAO ↗

UK DESNZ 2026 reference: petrol car 0.16152 + upstream fuel 0.04599 = 0.20751 kg CO₂e/vehicle-km; EV electricity including distribution 0.02951 + upstream 0.01049 = 0.04000; light rail/tram 0.02121 + upstream 0.00749 = 0.02870 kg CO₂e/passenger-km. The UK grid and fleet are not substitutes for Thai provider factors. DESNZ 2026 ↗

Reusable glass per serving = (manufacture + end of life) ÷ lifetime uses + washing. Disposable cup and glass assumptions are illustrative. Food and materials are not included in this calculator. Savings are scenario estimates, not carbon credits or a verified event total.

The programme

Is SĀN CONNECT an open exhibition?

The core is curated business matching based on demand, reviewed profiles and mutual acceptance. Selected Supplier pathways also include product showcase opportunities.

Who organises the programme?

The programme initiator and operating organiser is TECH INFINITY INTERNATIONAL SOLUTION CO., LTD. (TIIS). Contact the programme team at connect@meetatsan.com.

Taking part

Can Thai Buyers take part?

Yes. Thai and international Buyers with relevant sourcing responsibility and business needs can express interest. Participation remains subject to review and confirmation.

What does registering interest confirm?

It starts a review conversation. It does not itself confirm participation, meetings, support or commercial results. The Registration page prepares your information as an email for you to review and send.

Products, technology & offers

Can equipment, software and service businesses join?

Yes, when the offer serves a relevant 4+1 industry and the business meets programme criteria. Manufacturers, technology developers, service providers and authorised Suppliers should describe their actual role and delivery rights.

Can one profile cover several industries or offers?

One company or solution can serve several industries. Keep one primary profile and identify the relevant applications. One Buyer company may have several needs, with different users, evaluators and decision-makers. Interest in a product does not establish demand for every technology offer.

HOSTED BUYER · ESTIMATE

Estimate Your Airfare Support

Try an estimate without uploading personal documents. SAN must review and confirm the actual entitlement.

Your travel

Enter an IATA code to match its country, or enter the airport name and select its country. Use the airport where the journey begins, not a connection.

Enter the total for both outbound and return flights once. Do not enter a one-way amount or double an existing round-trip total. The departure cap cannot exceed your actual work-base cap.

Deductions · same currency as the receipt

Enter each item once. Tick “already removed” if it is already excluded from the amount above. Employer payment is not automatically deducted.

Your support estimate

Only enter the individual cap from your approval letter. Leaving this blank still allows an estimate using known caps.

Formula, rates and confirmation

The lowest of 50% of the eligible net round-trip fare, 50% of comparable Economy round-trip pricing, the approved individual cap (if any), the departure-airport country cap, the actual work-base country cap and THB 35,000.

Receipt: BOT commercial-bank average MID from the latest business day before actual payment; direct conversion to THB with normalized currency units. USD payout: approved THB ÷ (ECB USD/THB reference + 0.35). The two rate stages have different purposes.

USD payout uses ECB via Frankfurter, with the ECB provider fixed. Receipt valuation uses BOT commercial-bank average MID. For a currency absent from that primary set, ECB via Frankfurter is the disclosed fallback, subject to SAN disclosure before confirmation; missing primary history is not silently replaced. If neither source covers it, SAN must announce a fixed source before confirmation.

Confirmed THB and USD are locked with rate evidence and policy version. Later API updates never rewrite them. Cash denominations and remainder handling are pending.
