Joint Dinner with Grand Challenges in Global Health Conference NOTE: The GCGH and Keystone Joint Dinner: A semi-formal dinner at the Royal Thai Navy Convention Hall, with an address by HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn. HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is also President of the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation. This is a joint dinner for Grand Challenges in Global Health and Keystone Symposia participants and is an event not to be missed! Protocol dictates that guests may not arrive to the hotel after 4pm, nor depart the event before the end of the formalities. (Note: Attire recommendations below) http://www.princemahidolaward.org Attire for all meeting sessions is business casual. The same applies to evening events, with the exception of the dinner on Wednesday, October 22nd at the Royal Thai Navy Convention Hall. For this event, in honor of HRH Princess Machachakri Sirindhom, who will be attending this event, smart business casual is recommended. Thai ladies will often wear a silk costume for any function attended by royalty, but for non-Thai ladies, a smart dress (not evening gown) is preferred. For men a pair of business pants and open neck shirt is recommended. |
