TOP 5 Venues for Crypto Meetups in Seoul

Hello, this is Chris & Partners! 😊

As the crypto ecosystem around Web3, DeFi, and NFTs grows fast these days, crypto meetups are being held actively in Seoul too.

But many of you are probably wondering, ‘Where should I hold the meetup?’

Today, from an event-planning expert's view, we've organized the TOP 5 venues for crypto meetups in Seoul.

🏆 3 things to check before choosing a venue

Crypto meetups differ a bit in character from ordinary corporate seminars.
They often involve community networking, live demos, and simultaneous on/offline streaming, so check these three first.

• AV equipment: large screen, sound system
• Accessibility: public-transit connectivity (parking support is mostly unavailable)
• Internet: stable wired internet and Wi-Fi are essential

As a Seoul landmark familiar to global participants, it also heightens a crypto meetup's symbolism.
