Sylvie di Giusto, keynote speaker, smiling

สวัสดี ฉันชื่อซิลวี

An Austrian mother, a French father, a Spanish grandmother and an Italian grandfather: I grew up in a family where switching cultures at the dinner table was perfectly normal. That turns out to be excellent training for Bangkok, a city that greets the world with a wai, a smile and a traffic jam, and somehow makes all three feel gracious.

For nearly twenty years I sat on your side of the table. I led the leadership academy of Europe’s largest retail and tourism group, worked with Fortune 100 companies, and partnered with leaders from Germany to the UK and Hong Kong. Asia taught me early that respect lives in the details, and that an audience always notices whether a speaker has noticed them.

Today I live in Florida, with family in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates and a German husband of more than twenty years who keeps my cultural balancing act honest. I served on the board of the Global Speakers Federation, and have served audiences in more than 25 countries. Bangkok is a stage worth every time zone.

Two keynotes, built for your Bangkok audience

Future of work & AI

Forever Human

The better the machines get, the more your people will set you apart.

AI just made everyone equally capable. Sylvie names the ten moves a machine still can’t make and shows your audience how to lead, sell and connect with the human signals technology can’t fake.

Why it lands in Bangkok: a city trusted with the IMF and World Bank Group Annual Meetings is thinking hard about AI. This shows your audience the ten moves a machine still can’t make.

Leadership & sales

The Power of Choice

What your people know rarely gets them chosen. What others see in them does.

Clients, talent and the room decide in seconds. Sylvie reveals the five dimensions that quietly decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and how to shape them on purpose.

Why it lands in Bangkok: in a culture where courtesy is a fine art, it shows leaders exactly how trust is earned, kept and quietly lost.

My planner tips for Bangkok

Mind royal etiquette. Respect for the monarchy is legally protected and culturally important in Thailand, so keep jokes and casual remarks about the royal family out of every script, including the emcee’s.
Check the date before the toast. Alcohol sales are restricted on some Buddhist holidays and election days, which can quietly derail a gala dinner, so confirm your date before planning the closing reception.
Plan around the big expos. THAIFEX Anuga Asia fills the city in late May, and the Thailand International Motor Expo runs into December at IMPACT, so secure venues and hotels early around those weeks.
Taking it on the road? Pair Bangkok with Beijing and give a regional leadership program one shared message across two of Asia’s great capitals.
Make the evening unforgettable. Book a Chao Phraya River dinner cruise and let Wat Arun, glowing on the riverbank, deliver the final word of the night.

Questions planners ask about Bangkok

Who is a good international keynote speaker for a conference in Bangkok?

Sylvie di Giusto is a CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame keynote speaker and has worked with leaders across Europe and Asia. She delivers two keynotes, Forever Human on the human edge in the age of AI and The Power of Choice on how people get chosen, either on a traditional stage or as the world’s first 3D immersive keynote.

Can the keynote be tailored to an international audience in Bangkok?

Yes. Every keynote is researched and customized for your people, your industry and your theme, and Sylvie’s multicultural background helps her connect with audiences of many nationalities in Bangkok.

Can the 3D immersive keynote be staged in a Bangkok venue?

Yes, wherever there is a stage and a room that can go dark. Sylvie’s team works directly with your Bangkok venue and AV partner, checks the floor plan early and sends the full tech requirements. See how the experience works.

Which keynote fits an AI or technology conference in Bangkok?

Forever Human. It shows audiences the ten moves a machine still can’t make, and turns AI anxiety into a clear plan for the human skills that grow in value as technology gets better.

Which keynote fits a leadership, sales or HR event in Bangkok?

The Power of Choice. It reveals the five dimensions that decide who gets kept, followed and chosen, and shows people how to shape those judgments on purpose. It is built on Sylvie’s book The Image of Leadership.

Sylvie is based in the US. Does she travel to Bangkok?

Yes. Sylvie speaks in more than 25 countries. Her team handles travel and logistics, so you work with one contact from the first call to the show.

Can we book Sylvie through our local speaker bureau?

Yes. Sylvie partners with speaker bureaus around the world. If a bureau already supports your event, Sylvie’s team will work directly with them from the first call to the show, so you keep the partner you trust.

What about visas, permits and other formalities for a keynote in Thailand?

Sylvie’s team handles it with you. Sylvie speaks internationally all year, so her team knows the paperwork a cross-border keynote can involve: business visas or work permits, invitation letters, and any tax forms Thailand requires for foreign speakers. They check the requirements for Thailand early, tell you exactly what they need from you, and take care of the rest, so nothing stands between your date and the stage.

How far in advance should we book a keynote speaker for Bangkok?

As early as your dates are set. Peak conference seasons in Bangkok fill venues and hotels fast, and the 3D immersive keynote needs a few weeks of custom work for your audience. Check availability to hold your date.

Can Sylvie speak virtually or in a hybrid format for a Bangkok event?

Yes. Both keynotes are available in person, hybrid or virtual, and each version is customized to your audience and theme.
