Chris & Partners' event-planning highlights
Seoul Meta Week (SMW) is TV CHOSUN and Chris & Partners' co-hosted Asia's largest AI & Web3 B2B tech event. This year, Seoul Meta Week focused on AI strategies and cases that drive real change in industries and organizations beyond technology, becoming a forum where experts from many fields gathered to discuss the present and future of technology. Chris & Partners, as co-host and official organizer, oversaw the entire process—from event planning to speaker booking, exhibition-booth and sponsor recruitment, promotion, and on-site management—leading an efficient and successful event.
In particular, our dedicated digital marketing team, with data analysis-based goal-setting, and the use of various channels for prospect targeting, drew high interest and participation from industry practitioners, researchers, academia, startup stakeholders, and university students seeking a deeper understanding of the AI field. We also effectively raised awareness by distributing continuous coverage through leading domestic and international media partners.
This Seoul Meta Week 2025, starting with the co-located event IXO2025, various side events and Metacon 2025 (the main conference), global companies' exhibitions and networking programs, and more made for a rich lineup, giving participants the chance to experience the latest technologies—AI and Web3—firsthand and gain insights.
Marking its 5th anniversary this year, Seoul Meta Week 2025: Metacon was held under the theme “Work. System. Intelligence,” with 26 global speakers and 21 sessions, joined by about 1,500 participants.
Metacon speakers included an emeritus professor of KAIST, Samsung Electronics, Naver Cloud, LG AI Research, Spotify, Google, Kakao, and other working-level leaders from global big tech, who shared strategies for applying the latest technologies—generative AI, agent AI, multimodal AI—to industry. The keynote by KAIST emeritus professor Kim Jin-hyung and the one-on-one dialogue ‘A Move for Humanity – Facing AI’ featuring former professional Go player Lee Sedol drew especially great interest. With a session lineup balancing technology and philosophy, industry and people, Seoul Meta Week's program-planning team drew praise as ‘a conference where you gain not just presentations but techno-philosophical depth and strategic perspective.’
At this Seoul Meta Week 2025, we introduced an AI-based real-time interpretation system. Befitting a global conference, we chose a better interpretation service to effectively remove language barriers between multinational speakers and participants. It enabled more efficient event operation than the simultaneous-interpretation system used at previous SMWs, and by composing presentation materials and interpretation subtitles on a single screen, we helped participants immerse themselves more in the talks. This was a new attempt to raise the quality of the on-site experience and a decision to provide a more intuitive, comfortable listening environment. We'll keep using AI technology to build ever more immersive event environments. Also, even after the main conference ended, the Seoul Meta Week energy continued at the networking party, held in a separate space in a free, casual atmosphere, creating a place for natural exchange and business meetings among attendees and adding even more vitality to the event.
Chris & Partners — prepare a smooth, systematic event that satisfies every kind of participant, together with us!
