The Daejeon Tourism Organization announced that it has successfully secured the hosting rights for the '2028 International People-Plant Symposium' (IPPS 2028) in Daejeon.

The organization, together with the International People-Plant Committee Bidding Committee (Chairperson Park Shinae, Professor at Konkuk University), promoted Daejeon as a host city and, on the 30th, won the bid over Germany at the International People-Plant Symposium held in Reading, United Kingdom, to be selected as the host city for the 2028 event.

The International People-Plant Symposium is an academic conference held every two years, where around 300 experts from about 30 countries in the field of plant-human environment studies gather to present the latest research findings and discuss future visions.

The symposium will be held alongside the International Society for Horticultural Science and other alternative healing fields, bringing together approximately 1,000 experts from about 50 countries to Daejeon.

The organization expects this event to be a valuable opportunity to strengthen Korea's status in the important green bio-healing sector in the era of climate crisis and to showcase Daejeon's appeal as the metropolitan city with the highest green space ratio to participants from around the world.

Yoon Sunguk, President of the Daejeon Tourism Organization, said, "We are very pleased that the most prestigious academic conference in the field of nature-based alternative healing will be held in Daejeon, where science and nature coexist," and added, "We will do our best to promote Daejeon's scientific MICE infrastructure to experts worldwide and ensure the successful hosting of the event."
