Incheon Metropolitan City has announced plans to launch a campaign to host the 2028 G20 Summit. The World Korean Business Convention, taking place from September 27 to October 1 at Songdo Convensia, will serve as a platform to showcase Incheon's world-class conference facilities and international event management capabilities to participants from around the globe.
This joint venture between the Overseas Koreans Agency and the city will feature a wide array of activities, including opening and closing ceremonies, an investment promotion briefing, a Korean business exhibition, and cultural experiences. Incheon will leverage its advanced airport infrastructure and proven operational track record to attract overseas Korean representatives and G20 delegates to the city.

After the convention, Incheon plans to maintain its promotional efforts by engaging with local communities and utilizing online and offline marketing channels.
Director General Kim Young-shin of the International Cooperation Bureau emphasized the convention as an ideal venue to demonstrate Incheon's global MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, and Exhibitions) capabilities, and expressed enthusiasm for the prospect of hosting the 2028 G20 Summit alongside the 7 million overseas Koreans residing in the region.
