Busan’s business events calendar is shaping up for a busy year, with at least 20 confirmed events secured for 2023.
Several highlights over the months include the 5th Preparatory Meeting for the 2023 World Radiocommunication Conference slated for February 20-25. The conference, held once every four years, promotes networking between the group’s 38 member countries in the Asia-Pacific region and serves as an important venue for discussions and decisions on important issues in various radiocommunication fields such as mobile communications, science, and satellites.
Then in March, BEXCO in Busan will host the World Disability Congress Busan 2023. Themed The Era of Great Conversion Disabilities with 4th IR and sporting the slogan Better Future, Better Life, the congress aims to present a new vision of the future where people with disabilities will be able to live better. About 4,500 attendees from some 150 countries are expected to participate.
A range of side events has also been planned, such as a Disability e-Sports Competition, Busan Disabled Baristas Competition, and a Film Festival on Rights for Disabled People.
Back in 2020, Busan managed to outbid Malaysia to host the 2020 World Congress on Biosensors, but the congress was cancelled due to the pandemic. Busan then submitted a letter of intent to host the 2023 congress which was accepted. The World Congress on Biosensors, held once every two years, is the world’s largest academic biosensors and bioelectronics event and is attended by experts from all over the world.
