World IT Show (WIS) Seoul

The World IT Show (WIS) is South Korea’s leading trade fair for information technology and digital innovation. Held annually at the prestigious COEX Convention and Exhibition Center in the heart of Seoul, the event brings together global tech leaders to showcase future-oriented technologies and discuss international IT trends in one of Asia’s most dynamic innovation hubs.

As the country’s most prominent IT exhibition, WIS serves as a key platform for global tech corporations, innovative start-ups, research institutions, and representatives from government and business. Organized by Korea Trade Fairs Ltd.—one of South Korea’s foremost exhibition organizers with decades of experience in hosting high-level industry events—the WIS has become a firmly established date in the international tech calendar.

The event covers a broad yet clearly focused spectrum of topics. Key areas include artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, digital health, and blockchain technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on developments in 5G, autonomous mobility, robotics, XR/VR/AR, the metaverse, and cybersecurity. Companies present their latest products and solutions—from intelligent home technologies and autonomous drones to groundbreaking innovations in FinTech and Web 3.0.

More than a conventional trade fair, the World IT Show is an immersive space for digital innovation. Visitors experience not only market-ready technologies but also visionary concepts, interactive demonstrations, and a high-level conference program featuring talks, panels, and discussions led by renowned international experts.

The event attracts professionals from a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, software development, automotive and aerospace, healthcare, education, and finance. It is geared toward decision-makers, developers, buyers, researchers, and investors—anyone seeking to shape the future of the digital world.

Seoul, recognized as a leading smart city with advanced digital infrastructure, provides an ideal setting for an innovation-driven event like the WIS.

Located in the vibrant Gangnam district, the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center is easily accessible via subway and offers direct connections from Incheon International Airport.
