Learn about Seoul for Event Venues, Services & Meeting Destinations Destination Description Seoul, South Korea, is northeast Asia’s business hub. This friendly, safe city has excellent meeting facilities and when combined with superb support from the Seoul Convention Bureau makes for a dependable international event destination. Seoul’s name is derived from the Korean word for capital city, and the city has served as the seat of power for several kingdoms on the Korean Peninsula since its founding more than 2,000 years ago. Located in the northwest corner of South Korean territory on the Han River, Seoul is the second largest metropolis in the world, second only to Tokyo. The city proper alone has more than 10 million residents. Seoul has a master plan intended to increase the city’s meeting space by 60 percent and bolster its status as a destination for conventions. The plan calls for developing new meeting facilities, including a convention center due to open in 2018 adjacent to the city’s train station and creating a concentration of hotels in the city center. The plan also calls for establishing additional meeting services, including site inspections, the promotion of existing venues and expanding the scope of the Seoul Convention Bureau.
