Seoul, the capital city of Korea, is the center of politics, economy, culture, and industries. The city has stepped comfortably into its position today as one of the most technologically advanced metropolises in the world, creating a unique, juxtaposed charm with 600 glorious years of history breathe throughout the streets. Scenery created by a beautiful ancient palace with high-rise skyscrapers in the background mesmerizes anyone who lays eyes on it.
Reflecting the charms of the city onto the business events only requires one’s imagination. Unique venues in various styles including the ones with unique Korean roof create authentic atmosphere for all purposes, as an opening ceremony or a gala dinner. Hangang River running across the city is also a perfect stage for business events. The world’s first artificial island becomes a shining convention center when the exterior walls lit up at night. Or a cruise ship can carry your event along the river allowing the participants to enjoy a gorgeous view of the city.
Korean culture, admired by many, turns into interesting activities for business event participants. Exploring traditional Korean markets with chef and cooking dishes with the grocery purchased on site will make unforgettable memories with colleagues.
