Korea will be hosting large-scale international conferences across the country this final quarter. The Korea MICE Bureau supports 45 international conferences in Korea from October until the end of this year, acquiring a total of 46,000 participants (including 18,000 overseas delegates).
Some of the largest business events include the 22nd World Conference of Family Doctors (Wonca) in Seoul (October 17 to 21), Congress of the Society International Urology (SIU) in Seoul (October 22 to 30), 82nd International Electrotechnical Commission General Meeting (October 22 to 30) in Busan, and the 6th OECD World Forum (November 27 to 29) in Incheon.
Confirmed events will be enjoying customized support from Korea MICE Bureau, such as assistance/concierge desk at major international airports, on-site Korea Tourism and Culture Booth, and production of a mobile app to enhance delegates’ meeting experience in the country.
“These conferences not only highlight Korea’s capacity to host large-scale conferences but it also magnify our excellence and pursuit for knowledge, particularly in the science field,” In Sook Lee, Korea Tourism Organization-Convention team director said. She added that it is also a good opportunity to promote Korea as tourist destination to overseas delegates and encourage them to visit the country again for leisure purposes.
In the meantime, Korea is continuing its efforts to promote the country as a top meeting destination. Interested parties in Korea MICE Bureau’s support for international conferences may approach the staff present at the IBTM World trade show (November 27 to 29, Booth G60).
