The Organizing Committee stated that it has improved the quality of the plan by conducting a variety of opinion-gathering procedures, including an inception report, interim report, regular meetings among the Organizing Committee, chief supervising team, and agencies, as well as expert advisory meetings, all to ensure the professionalism and objectivity of the consulting work.

In particular, the Committee confirmed the overall implementation plan containing the basic direction, structure, and main content of the expo through the final report session in October 2025, and developed the current session into an on-site-focused detailed implementation plan.

Specifically, the plan was designed to be applicable to the actual venue, covering aspects such as spatial configuration, visitor flow, placement of amenities, and booth operation plans. It also clearly implemented landmark and exhibition/production plans that reflect the identity of the Islands Expo.

The performance, exhibition, and experience programs have been enhanced by specifying the participating entities and content, establishing detailed implementation measures such as the number of sessions and operational methods, and further advancing the procedures to the level of an operational manual, including material delivery, facility placement, and broadcasting and information systems.

The Organizing Committee plans to pursue follow-up measures in each sector, such as producing an operational manual, reflecting the feedback presented at the briefing session.

Chairman Park Soo-kwan emphasized, "When the detailed implementation plans for each sector are organically connected, the overall completeness of the event can be elevated," adding, "We will actively incorporate expert feedback to create a world-class Islands Expo."

Jeong Hyeon-gu, Acting Mayor of Yeosu, stated, "This briefing session marks an important milestone in further strengthening the execution for the successful hosting of the Islands Expo," and added, "We will prepare a high-quality expo based on practical and effective plans that work in the field."

Meanwhile, the 2026 Yeosu World Islands Expo, under the theme "Connecting Islands, the Sea, and the Future," is an international event jointly hosted by Jeollanam-do Province and Yeosu City and organized by the Organizing Committee.
