Baedal Minjok to Host 'Elegant Tech Conference 2023'
First Offline Event Scheduled for the 15th of Next Month

Baedal Minjok (hereinafter Baemin) operator Woowa Brothers Corp. (CEO Lee Guk-hwan) announced on the 26th that it will hold the 'Woowa Tech Conference 2023' (hereinafter Woocon 2023) at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 15th of next month.

Now in its fourth year, Woocon is the largest annual technology conference hosted by Woowa Brothers. It shares the technical know-how, development organizational culture, and experiences of success and failure gained as Baemin evolves from a food delivery service to a commerce platform delivering anything. Last year’s Woocon, held online, received great response with over 13,000 pre-registrations and participants.

Until now, Woocon has been held only online, but this year participants can attend sessions offline on-site. Woocon 2023 will feature a total of 53 sessions under the theme "Baedal Science: All the Technologies Needed for a Single Delivery."

Starting with a greeting from CEO Lee Guk-hwan, CTO Song Jae-ha and CPO Lee Ki-ho will talk about Baemin’s achievements and secrets as a delivery tech company, the technologies they are currently focusing on, and their future vision. Each session will feature active developers in specialized fields such as backend, frontend, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and security, sharing cases, experiences, and know-how on how they improved services through technology.

Applications for on-site participation at Woocon 2023 can be made on the official Woocon website until the 7th of next month. On-site participants will be selected by lottery, and the results will be notified via email on November 9. Session videos will also be released later on the official Woocon website and the Woowa Tech YouTube channel.

Song Jae-ha, CTO of Woowa Brothers, said, "Woocon will be a great opportunity to get one step closer to the countless technologies behind Baemin’s services," adding, "We hope many people who want to gain inspiration for their main work, projects, and careers through Baemin’s trials, errors, successes, and failures will participate."
