[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao will hold the 'if kakao 2020' conference online from the 18th to the 20th of this month. The schedule was changed from the originally planned date of the 25th.

This year's 'if kakao 2020' commemorates the 10th anniversary of KakaoTalk and features about 100 sessions covering a wide range of topics including technology, services, platforms, business partners, business vision and direction, and corporate culture.

The conference will begin on the first day, the 18th, with an opening session by co-CEOs Yeo Min-soo and Cho Soo-yong. The two CEOs will lead the session focusing on the direction of KakaoTalk and the better daily life Kakao aims to provide.

Sessions introducing the business directions of key division heads and a new project reveal session by the social contribution foundation Kakao Impact are also scheduled. Diverse non-technical sessions such as service sessions for Melon, Emoticons, Brunch, and business sessions for KakaoTalk Channel, Counseling Talk, and Kakao Moment will be unveiled.

There will also be behind-the-scenes stories of Melon Station heard through the voice of artist Jung Ki-go, know-how shared directly by popular emoticon artists, and writing stories from representative Brunch authors.

On the second day, the 19th, CEOs of Kakao subsidiaries will appear. Six subsidiaries including Kakao Mobility, Kakao Bank, Kakao Enterprise, Kakao Japan, Kakao Pay, and Ground X will introduce their businesses and services, offering a glimpse of their blueprints.

On the same day, sessions related to Kakao’s corporate culture experienced and narrated by developers will be revealed. Stories about recruitment processes of crew members hired through developer recruitment and internships, vlogs capturing a day in the life of developer crew, experiences of a developer crew member in their eighth month at Kakao, and real stories from many current developer crew members through relay interviews around the office will vividly convey Kakao’s working style.

A Kakao official said, "This year’s 'if kakao 2020,' held online to mark the 10th anniversary of KakaoTalk, is planned on a large scale, so we aimed to prepare sessions with more diverse and broader topics than before," adding, "We hope the conference will be a place for participants to gain knowledge, interest, and enjoy exchanges."
