This year, we kicked off our first Gyeonggi MICE On-site Talk by meeting with the executives of the Korean Society of Endoscopic Neurosurgery (KOSEN). It was their first time at Suwon Convention Center, and they were thoroughly impressed during the venue tour! They absolutely loved the clean, modern facilities and the high ceilings of the convention hall. And, thanks to the stunning lake view from the VIP meeting room, the atmosphere was filled with laughter throughout the entire on-site talk.

Worried about the hotel’s accessibility by public transportation? No problem! The shuttle bus service provided by the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization took care of that concern, making it a stress-free experience!
