SK Group's Largest Event 'Social Value Festival' Postponed to Autumn

Postponed to the End of August Due to COVID-19 Impact

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] As the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) shows no signs of slowing down, SK Group has decided to postpone its largest group event, the Social Value Festival, to the second half of the year. Following the postponement of major channels for spreading social value led by SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, such as the Boao Forum in China and the Shanghai Forum, the domestic event has also been delayed.

According to SK Group on the 13th, the 'Social Value Connect (SOVAC) 2020' event, originally scheduled for May this year, has been postponed to August 31.

SOVAC is a large-scale private festival where everything related to social value can be experienced in one place. SK Group takes the lead as a major partner, and Chairman Chey Tae-won personally participates to promote social value.

Participants include social enterprises, public institutions, universities and research institutes, social venture consulting and investment organizations, non-profit foundations, and general companies. General citizens and university students interested in social enterprise startups, employment, and investment also take part.

Since it is a large-scale event involving dozens of organizations and the general public alongside SK Group, collaboration for prior preparation is essential. Therefore, it was judged that holding the event in May would be difficult, leading to the final decision to postpone it.
