The show presents a wide variety of activities, industrial conferences and live demonstrations to ensure that visitors get the most from the various events. For instance, the first Asian appearance of NAO, the world-renowned humanoid robot from Europe with the most advanced technology of its kind, is a major attraction. NAO presents the face of the future technology. Originally developed as human assistant, NAO has been improved version after version with even more amazing features that embrace technology of the future. Its cutting edge movement ability as well as visual and audio detection reveals endless possibilities that can be applied for the manufacturing industries that were never thought of. NAO can hear, speak, feel and communicate. They have face, gesture, and voice recognition, and can talk to each other. They can also be programmed to remember dance movement, talk and perform other motions.

Technological advancement must go hand in hand with efficient business strategies. Aside from showing off the latest innovations, visitors can also get the chance to attend numerous tracks of seminars to widen their knowledge on manufacturing and market trends. Guest speakers are
experienced professionals who are ready to share their perspectives and knowledge.

With Thailand strengthening its composites industry as source of materials for automotive, construction, building decoration, and so on. Mr. Thapanick Kumnungwout, President of Thai Composites Association, brought members and composites manufacturers to exhibit the latest composites materials at "Composites Thailand 2012", Thailand's Only Exhibition on Composites Manufacturing Technologies and Raw Materials, a Featured Pavilion of InterPlas Thailand 2012. Mr. Thapanick revealed, “At Composites Thailand, there will be a showcase of composites materials that are used to substitute other materials. The highlight, this year, will be the composites materials for the construction industry.

We will present composites materials that can be substituted for steel and wood in doors and
windows productions because the shape of these composites will not be changed, damaged nor rust
because of water or heat. And the composites are lighter and more durable than other materials.
