Kim Youngshin, Director General of International Cooperation at Incheon City, stated, "Hosting the 2026 EDC KOREA in Incheon is a meaningful event that combines global cultural content with local infrastructure. We expect this will serve as an opportunity for Incheon to leap forward as a global city encompassing not only business MICE, but also large-scale cultural events."
