Daejeon Convention Center (DCC) is a leading MICE venue in central Korea, offering modern infrastructure and a strategic location. Consisting of two interconnected buildings, DCC 1 and DCC 2, the venue provides flexible spaces suitable for conferences, exhibitions, and international events. For this conference, the event will be held in DCC Exhibition Hall 1, which offers spacious and well-equipped facilities for large-scale international gatherings. Conveniently, the building also houses SUNGSIMDANG, a famous bakery brand originating from Daejeon and widely known across Korea, located on the first floor. Located along the scenic Gapcheon River and near Korea's major science and technology cluster, DCC offers a pleasant environment that combines urban convenience with natural surroundings, creating an ideal setting for international conferences and events.
All foreign visitors wishing to enter the Republic of Korea must hold a valid passport. Depending on your nationality, you may be required to obtain a Korean visa prior to travel. Nationals of countries eligible for visa-free entry may instead be required to obtain K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) before arrival. Participants are strongly advised to check their visa requirements well in advance of travel.
※ Since July 1, 2020, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea issues a Confirmation of Visa Issuance in place of a visa label as an official entry permit into Korea. To determine the type of visa required, please visit the link below.
Countries under Visa Waiver Agreement
Nationals of countries with a visa waiver agreement with the Republic of Korea may enter Korea without a visa for short-term stays. However, visa regulations may vary depending on nationality and travel purpose. Participants are advised to check the Korea Visa Portal or contact the nearest Korean embassy or consulate for the most accurate and up-to-date visa information before traveling.
K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization)
K-ETA is required for travelers from visa-free countries who wish to enter Korea without a visa. The system was introduced in October 2021 to streamline entry procedures. Travelers must obtain K-ETA approval before boarding a flight or ship bound for the Republic of Korea. Applications can be submitted through the official K-ETA website or mobile application.
