THE BIENNIAL congress of the Combustion Institute will head to Seoul, South Korea in 2016.
To be held at the capital city’s Coex Convention & Exhibition Center, the 36th Symposium on Combustion is expected to attract more than 700 international experts from 70 countries, along with more than 500 local participants.
The secured bid is one of the many wins for associations in South Korea that have benefited from bidding support offered by the Seoul Convention Bureau (SCB).
Along with strong local association chapters and a rapidly growing meetings industry, bidding support offered by the SCB and the Seoul Metropolitan Government has led to over 100 bid wins for events in Seoul to be held from 2012 to 2018. These events are expected to bring in over 1.3 trillion won (US$1.15 billion) in revenue for the city.
Upcoming events in Seoul include the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians, the 26th International Society of Hypertension Biennial Scientific Meeting 2016, and the General Session of the International Association for Dental Research in 2016.
