Smart Life Week 2026

Seoul’s public smart-city and AI event runs October 6–8, 2026 at COEX Halls A and B. The official SLW site lists show-floor hours of 10:00–18:00 on October 6–7 and 10:00–16:30 on October 8, with exhibitions, the Seoul AI Robot Show, forums, awards and business programs. Seoul’s Culture Portal lists a slightly narrower public schedule for October 6 and 8 (10:30–18:00 and 10:00–16:00), so visitors should follow the organizer’s live guidance. The Culture Portal marks the event free and open to anyone; pre-registration is available in English.
