‘Future Designers’ Global Creators Come to Busan … Gyeongnam Jeongbodae Holds 3rd Creative Convergence Forum

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] World-renowned creators aiming to ‘design the future’ are gathering in Busan.

Gyeongnam Information University (President Kim Dae-sik) announced on the 23rd that it will hold the 3rd CCF (Creative Convergence Forum) special lecture on the afternoon of the 28th at the university’s Future Hall Global Convention Hall.

Since 2020, Gyeongnam Information University has been inviting global panelists to enhance students’ global mindset and to provide access to information concentrated in the metropolitan area to the local region through special meetings.

Previously, the university planned the ‘CCF (Creative Convergence Forum)’ as a medium for citizens of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, and held the 1st and 2nd forums.

The 3rd CCF to be held on the 28th will focus on the theme ‘Design The Future’ and invite creators from global companies such as Google, Astra (a US space electric vehicle company), Kakao Entertainment, Lundrigo, and Naver to discuss new industries.

The forum will run for five hours covering ▲New Content (Kakao Entertainment Director Na Se-hoon - Kakao Entertainment BX DESIGN) ▲New Lifestyle (Lundrigo General Manager Song Ho-sung - A brand that started small and grew rapidly) ▲New AD (Google Lead Park Sang-hak - The mindset shift from agency designer to Google Ads designer) ▲New Space (Astra Designer Kang Hwan-cheol - New vehicle experience (Rocket & EV)) ▲New AI (Naver Manager Kim Jae-yeop - Extended reality: new opportunities open to designers).

The 3rd CCF at Gyeongnam Information University is prepared for the university’s students but is also open to citizens of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam on a first-come, first-served basis.

In addition to the on-site event at the Future Hall, it will also be held simultaneously via metaverse and YouTube live streaming.

Professor Choi Dong-cheol of the Visual Design Department, who planned the event, said, “Following the 1st forum ‘Think with Design’ and the 2nd forum ‘Design the World,’ we prepared the 3rd forum ‘Design The Future’ focusing on new industries preparing for the future. Inviting world-class panelists who are difficult to gather in one place will provide students with an opportunity to instill a spirit of challenge.”

Kim Dae-sik, president of Gyeongnam Information University, said, “We planned this meaningful event to shake and awaken the campus, which has been subdued since the COVID-19 pandemic. The university will continue to present various themed forums for students and the citizens of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam who have shown great love for Gyeongnam Information University for 57 years.”

This event is hosted by Gyeongnam Information University, sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea, and conducted as part of the Junior College Innovation Support Project.

Applications can be made through Gyeongnam Information University’s Instagram and website, and applicants will be provided with links for on-site attendance, metaverse, and YouTube live streaming.
