2026 ICTMD Chiang Mai Symposium has come to a successful close! 2026 ICTMD清邁國際研討會圓滿落幕！

This symposium was much more than an academic gathering. It was a space where ideas met, meaningful discussions flourished, friendships were formed, and our cultural horizons were broadened. Through this collaboration, the three ICTMD Study Groups came to know one another more deeply and strengthened our connections for the future.
Looking back on this remarkable 18-month journey, there are simply too many people to thank. Together, we faced countless challenges, overcame obstacle after obstacle, and today I can proudly say, together with all of my colleagues: We really made it a successful and unforgettable event!
I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to the teams at Chiang Mai University and Chulalongkorn University. Experiencing your institutional culture, extraordinary commitment, and passion firsthand has been truly inspiring. You are simply amazing.
My heartfelt thanks go to everyone who made this symposium possible—the university leadership, faculty members, staff, students, and our wonderful interns from Singapore. Your resilience, dedication, professionalism, and generosity deeply impressed and moved me. There are simply no words that can fully express my gratitude.
Finally, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the presenters, performers, and participants. Your presence, generosity, and contributions have made this symposium a truly remarkable gathering of music scholars and practitioners from around the world.
The meeting of knowledge and friendship has broadened our horizons and warmed our hearts. Together, we have created not only an inspiring academic event, but also a community of mutual understanding and shared humanity. Thank you all for making this symposium so meaningful and unforgettable.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
I wish you all safe travels home, and I look forward to meeting you again somewhere in the world very soon.
回首這段長達十八個月的旅程，要感謝的人實在太多了。一路走來，我們共同面對無數挑戰，也一起克服了一個又一個困難。此刻，我真的可以很驕傲地和所有夥伴們一起說：We really made it a successful and unforgettable event!
這不只是一場研討會，更是一場知識、文化與友誼的交流。一次次精彩的學術對話與思想碰撞，建立了珍貴的友誼，也拓展了彼此的文化視野。三個 ICTMD Study Groups 透過這次合作，更深入地了解彼此，也建立了更緊密的連結。
我也要特別感謝清邁大學與朱拉隆功大學。這次親身感受到你們豐厚的文化底蘊、驚人的執行力，以及對工作的熱情與投入，你們真的太棒了！
衷心感謝所有支持這次研討會的人——包括校方、老師、工作人員、學生，以及來自新加坡的 internship 同學們。你們的堅忍、努力、專業與熱情，深深地打動了我。任何言語都不足以表達我此刻的感謝。
最後,要感謝所有的發表者、表演者與參與者。你們的參與和貢獻,成就了這一個全世界音樂研究者與實踐者齊聚的國際研討會；讓知識和友誼的交融，開闊了我們的眼、更溫暖了我們的心！
期待在世界的另一個角落，再次與大家相見！

First joint symposium of three ICTMD Study Groups in Chiang Mai, 2-8 July 2026

For the first time in the history of ICTMD, three Study Groups of the International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance (ICTMD) will join in a single Symposium. The Study Groups on Performing Arts of Southeast Asia (PASEA), Applied Ethnomusicology (AE) and Indigenous Music & Dance (IMD) will all meet at Chiang Mai University in Thailand from 2-8 July 2026.
The Program Committee received close to 250 submissions for panels, roundtables, individual presentations, audiovisual presentations, workshops and performances. To our delight, there were many overlapping themes, like intangible cultural heritage, working with communities, agency and identity, technology and AI, ethics and integrity, and music interventions in times of trouble. In addition, there will be many opportunities to learn from Thai colleagues among more than 170 scheduled presentations divided over 65 sessions, as well as keynotes by Professors Vilawan Svetsreni, Deborah Wong, and Ricardo Trimillos.

The Program Committee and Local Arrangements Committee have finalised the preliminary program, which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lEskj04BxQO_-QH1d_Dapv7Iiw69bC1R/view?usp=drive_link. Updates will be published regularly.

We invite all presenters and others who are able to join to register as soon as possible through the conference website https://www.ictmd2026thailand.com/registration.
