Harbour.Space at Nextopia

Throughout March, Harbour.Space@UTCC welcomed prospective students, parents, and curious visitors to its Open Day at Nextopia, Siam Paragon, offering a first hand look at what studying at Harbour.Space is really like.

The Open Day gave visitors the opportunity to meet the team, learn about the university’s Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, and gain a clearer understanding of how Harbour.Space integrates technology, entrepreneurship, and practical projects into everything it does. Guests were also able to ask questions about admissions, student life, and career opportunities after graduation.

Hosted at Nextopia, one of Bangkok’s leading spaces dedicated to innovation and technology, the event ran from March 9 to 15 and brought together a wide range of attendees at different stages of their educational journey.

A highlight of the event was the opportunity to hear directly from members of the Harbour.Space faculty and alumni community. Their sessions gave visitors a genuine sense of the conversations and thinking that take place inside Harbour.Space every day.

From the Harbour.Space faculty, Stephanie Schwab and Laura Morris led a panel discussion on the human side of digital marketing, exploring the themes of people and change. Their conversation addressed how the rise of AI has reshaped their respective fields, and what that means for the professionals working within them today.

Harbour.Space faculty member Sunny Patel also took to the stage to present his findings on digital trends in Thailand in 2026. Drawing on a survey of Thai consumers aged 21 to 50 conducted in early 2026, Sunny shared insights into the daily digital habits shaping the country’s online landscape. His research painted a picture of a highly connected, value conscious audience that now turns to social platforms at almost every step of the journey, from discovery to decision. The session offered attendees a grounded, data informed view of where the digital landscape in Thailand is heading and what that means for the professionals and businesses operating within it.

The event also featured a presentation from a Harbour.Space alumnus, Oeng Hongly, who shared a project he had worked on that brought together technology and cultural storytelling in an interactive format.

Oeng Hongly presented his project “Mae Sue,” an experience inviting visitors to reconnect with a childhood guardian figure from Thai folklore. Attendees were able to scan a QR code and create their own personal guardian, combining cultural heritage with interactive technology in a way that resonated with visitors of all ages.
