2026 AI-ICT Industry & Technology Outlook Conference, Seoul

The 2026 AI-ICT Industry & Technology Outlook Conference (2026 AI·ICT 산업·기술전망 컨퍼런스) takes place 12–14 November 2026 at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. Hosted by Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT and organised by IITP together with a group of AI and ICT specialist bodies, it carries the theme "Beyond ICT — AI Great Transformation".

The programme integrates the former ICT Industry Outlook Conference and ICT R&D Week into a single forum that surveys where AI and ICT are heading. The opening day (12 November) sets out future outlook and keynote themes; 13 November focuses on ICT technology outlook and R&D investment direction; and 14 November turns to talent development and international cooperation, with field-by-field sessions across the major technology areas of the AI-transformation era.

The conference is one of Korea's main annual public-facing surveys of AI and ICT trends, drawing researchers, industry practitioners and the wider technology community. Sessions are streamed online via the official site and YouTube alongside in-person attendance, so remote participants can follow the outlook talks. For anyone tracking the direction of Korea's national AI and ICT priorities and where R&D investment is flowing, it is a useful annual reference point.
