1,000 Participants from 50 Countries to Attend the International Marine and Polar Engineering Conference at KINTEX Next Year

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization has successfully secured the hosting rights for the ‘2025 International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers Conference (ISOPE),’ known as the world’s largest conference on marine technology.

Previously, the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, together with Gyeonggi Province, Goyang City (Goyang Convention Bureau), and KINTEX, introduced KINTEX facilities and surrounding MICE infrastructure to the ISOPE inspection team last October and held a session to announce support programs.

On the 25th, the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced that ISOPE’s board of directors recently highly evaluated ▲accessibility to Seoul and airports ▲abundant surrounding tourist resources ▲systematic hosting support ▲KINTEX’s conference facilities, and ultimately decided on Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province as the final venue.

The ISOPE inspection team visited Gyeonggi-do last year and took a commemorative photo with officials from related organizations involved in the attraction within the province.

The 2025 ISOPE Conference will be held at KINTEX in Goyang City from June 1 to 6 next year, with over 1,000 participants from 50 countries.

A representative of the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization stated, "In line with the full-scale recovery of MICE event hosting, securing the world’s largest conference in offshore and polar engineering in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province is very meaningful and encouraging. We will do our best to successfully host this event through thorough preparation and support, and to continuously attract large-scale overseas MICE events in the future."
