Tilleke & Gibbins Hosts Future Energy Asia 2022 Event Preview

On June 16, 2022, Tilleke & Gibbins opened its Bangkok office for a press conference, executive meeting, and preview event for the upcoming Future Energy Asia & Future Mobility Asia Exhibition and Summit 2022.

The event comprised three sessions—a media Q&A session, an executive committee meeting, and a networking cocktail reception and tour of the firm’s Museum of Counterfeit Goods.

In the executive committee meeting, Joseph Tomkiewicz, partner and chair of the firm’s regional energy industry team (and member of the conference committee), was joined by high-profile representatives in the industry. Together they shared insights and discussed the future direction of the energy sector in Asia.

The event concluded with a networking session and a tour of the firm’s well-known Museum of Counterfeit Goods. The opportunity to connect with other key players in the energy sector attracted top-level guests from leading organizations in Thailand and Southeast Asia, including the Ministry of Energy as well as BCPG, Bangkok Industrial Gas Company Limited, Energy Absolute, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, and Schneider Electric.

The Future Energy Asia & Future Mobility Asia Exhibition and Summit 2022 will take place at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) on July 20–22. Joseph and Sher Hann Chua, consultant in the firm’s intellectual property group, will be guest speakers.
