Korea Gets Busy with Large-scale International Conferences this Q4 2018

Korea will be hosting large-scale international conferences across the country this final quarter. The Korea MICE Bureau will be supporting forty-five international conferences to be held in Korea from October until the end of this year, acquiring a total of 46,000 participants (18,000 overseas delegates).

Some of the largest business events include the 22^nd World Conference of Family Doctors (WONCA), Congress of the Society International Urology (SIU), 82^nd International Electrotechnical Commission General Meeting, and the 6^th OECD World Forum. 

 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. Those who are interested in Korea MICE Bureau’s support for international conferences may approach any of our staff at the following major tradeshows: IMEX America (October 16-18, Booth D4542), IBTM World (November 27-29, Booth G60).
