FAQ
Common questions from sponsors and attendees.
Why only 10 Sponsor Hubs?
BEAT Active is an intimate multifunction venue, which means every sponsor sits on the main attendee path rather than a back-of-hall aisle. 10 hubs at 2×2m is the maximum footprint that keeps sightlines to the main stage clean and preserves the B2B matchmaking density.
Who runs the drag programme on Day 2?
Yellow Channel — Thailand's leading drag production company since 2017. They curate Thailand's Drag Stars (15:00–19:00) and headline Drag Arena International 2026 (20:00–23:00), with 11 queens flown in from Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Philippines, and Vietnam.
Who attends PrideShow 2026?
Day 1 is B2B & VIP only — ESG leads, C-suite, NGO directors, and founders. Day 2 mornings stay B2B for workshops and panels; from 14:00 the floor opens to the public for the drag takeover, marketplace, and Drag Arena Main Event.
How do I claim my PrideShow directory listing?
Search for your company on the Claim page, verify ownership via email domain or social handle, then submit. Most claims are reviewed within 3 business days.
Am I eligible for LGBTBE certification?
Any Thai-registered business that is at least 51% owned and operated by LGBTQ+ individuals is eligible. The Sasin-run certification clinic runs alongside Day 2 workshops.
When does early-bird pricing close?
Early-bird rates (15% off listed prices) are available until 31 January 2026 or when the hub allocation fills — whichever comes first.
