Australian PCO Expertise Shines at Global Occupational Therapy Congress in Bangkok

Melbourne, AustraliaThink Business Events has reinforced Australia’s reputation for world‑class conference leadership with the successful delivery of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, the fourth in the partnership’s collaboration. As the profession’s premier global gathering, the Congress brought together more than 2,300 delegates from over 100 countries for a week of knowledge exchange, international networking and professional development.

Drawing on its long-standing partnership with WFOT, Think Business Events applied a strategy‑first approach, aligning program design, stakeholder engagement and delegate experience to support WFOT’s global mission. The Congress featured a rich scientific program which received over 3,000 abstract submissions, with contributions from the World Health Organization and leading universities, and an environment designed to spark meaningful connection and community building within the global occupational therapy profession.

“Delivering a Congress of this scale and significance requires clear strategic direction, disciplined planning and a deep understanding of the profession’s priorities,” said Denise Broeren, Director and Head of Business Development at Think Business Events. “Our THINK philosophy is about using strategy to elevate every decision ensuring the conference not only runs seamlessly but advances WFOT’s long‑term goals.”

Held at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), the 2026 WFOT Congress celebrated diversity, innovation and global perspectives in occupational therapy. While delegates were engaged in a dynamic program many also enjoyed pre- and post-Congress tours, and cultural immersion activities highlighting the cultural vibrancy of Thailand.

Looking ahead, Think Business Events continues its strategic partnership with WFOT as planning commences for the 20th Global Congress in 2030, where innovation, knowledge leadership and global partnerships will again be at the forefront.
