Seoul Set to Host Big Web3 AI Gathering at GWDC 2026 Korea
The world of blockchain and artificial intelligence is moving fast. A major event called
Why This Event Matters
After a strong first show in Hong Kong earlier this year, the team behind the conference decided to grow bigger. The new event runs on September 29 and 30 at the aT Center in Seoul. Organizers expect more than 8,000 people, 500 top developers, 100 speakers, and 100 exhibitors. The goal is simple: connect real builders and show how Web3 tools can mix with AI to solve real problems.
Four Main Zones for Every Type of Attendee
The layout at the aT Center is split into four clear areas. The main stage will host talks from government leaders and big tech voices. They will discuss policy, cross-border work, and the next steps for decentralized systems. Three smaller tracks will cover hands-on topics like open-source tools, real-world assets in finance, and cloud systems that power AI models. The final part is a big hackathon where teams compete for prizes.
Hands-On Exhibits and Live Action
Instead of plain booths, the show will use 99 interactive demo spaces. Visitors can try AI tools, blockchain apps, and developer software right on the spot. Thirty popular online voices will share live updates. To keep energy high, the event will also feature fun dance shows mixed with tech displays. This mix aims to draw big crowds and create real connections.
The Hackathon: Big Prizes and Real Challenges
The highlight for many will be the hackathon finals. Over 500 developers from China, South Korea, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia will join. Five major blockchains will each give tasks. The total prize pool tops $100,000, plus cloud computing help from top providers. Winners get cash, resources, and a chance to meet investors and ecosystem leaders.
What You Can Expect to Learn
Attendees will leave with clear ideas on how to build better tools. Topics include better developer toolchains, new paths for DeFi and cross-border payments, and the code behind AI training. The focus stays on action, not just theory. Builders can test ideas, meet partners, and see live demos of projects that combine Web3 security with AI speed.
Who Should Attend GWDC 2026 Korea
This event is made for developers, founders, investors, and anyone curious about the next wave of tech. Whether you code every day or lead a project, the mix of talks, demos, and competitions offers value. Seoul is a growing hub for both blockchain and AI, so the location adds extra energy.
