BEING 2026 is the second edition of Thailand's only dedicated B2B wellness conference — a full-day, complimentary event purpose-built for the professionals and businesses shaping the future of wellness in hospitality and beyond.

Staged at Angsana Laguna Phuket on Wednesday, 2nd September 2026, BEING brings together operators, investors, founders, and practitioners for a format unlike any other wellness event in the region. The program moves between expert-led Conversations, hands-on Workshops, and active Movement Sessions — making this one of the few B2B conferences where the content is as physical as it is intellectual.

This year's program features three Conversations covering the full spectrum of modern wellness — how it is redefining hospitality, driving destination demand, and shaping healthcare ecosystems — alongside 12 Workshops that put ideas directly into practice, from AI and nutrition to longevity, recovery science, and brand building. Three Movement Sessions round out the day, offering participants an active experience of the very disciplines being discussed. Speakers include senior figures from Six Senses, Kamalaya, GOCO Hospitality, Bumrungrad International Hospital, Clinique La Prairie, Vikasa, and Lemongrass House, among others.

Beyond the sessions, 27 exhibitors drawn from across the wellness supply chain bring products, services, and solutions to the floor — creating a live marketplace for B2B connection. The BEING Table: Open Connections adds a dedicated roundtable networking format, designed to bring the right people into the same conversation.

BEING is not a trade show. It is a content-driven platform where wellness businesses, hospitality operators, and the professionals shaping the sector come together to learn, connect, and do business. Attendance is complimentary, but advance registration is required.

Come to Phuket on 2nd September for the most concentrated day of wellness business thinking in Southeast Asia.
