Over the years, Coex has blossomed into Korea’s premier exhibition and convention hub, distinguished event orchestrator, and a compelling tourist destination, equipped with comprehensive infrastructure tailored to meet diverse business requisites.
Furthermore, Coex achieved a significant milestone in 2020 by becoming the first Korean entity to secure the prestigious UFI certificate from the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, underscoring its prowess in hosting world-class exhibitions. As the foremost exhibition organizer in Korea, Coex orchestrates a plethora of over 25 exhibitions annually, spanning across the nation and extending its reach to international destinations like China, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
Nestled adjacent to the historic Bongeun Temple and seamlessly connected to the vibrant Coex Starfield Mall, Coex presents visitors with a unique opportunity to traverse through epochs, bridging ancient heritage with contemporary pop culture. The inauguration of the Shinhan-Card@Coex Artium, coupled with the designation of Gangnam as a Special Tourist Zone dedicated to Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry, has further propelled Coex’s metamorphosis into a veritable epicenter for both business and cultural enrichment, serving as a gateway to the rich tapestry of Korean heritage and innovation.
