Korea is set to unveil its newest convention center, Ulsan Exhibition and Convention Center (UECO) on April 29, 2021. UECO will be the 17th convention center in Korea, anticipated to turn the Southeastern Metropolitan City of Ulsan into the next hub for the Korean MICE industry.
The opening of the center will coincide with the center’s first official event - Asia Pacific MICE Business Festival 2021 which will take place from April 29 – 30 as an offline in-person event. Located between Gyeongju and Busan, Ulsan is Korea’s eighth-largest city with a population of over 1.1 million, recognized as the industrial powerhouse of South Korea, home to the largest automobile assembly plant and shipyard. As one of Korea’s major cities, construction of an exhibition and convention center in the area was first promoted back in 2000, but halted due to controversy over budget and scale. The project finally saw light with the opening of KTX Ulsan Station in 2010 and construction officially began in 2017, 17 years after the project was first discussed. Now, the city’s first convention center is greatly anticipated to help Ulsan put its foot forward in the MICE industry.
With an
exterior design inspired by the whale-shaped carving on the Bangudae petroglyph
(National Treasure No. 285) in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, one of the city’s main landmarks,
UECO boasts a total area of 43,000 m2, with three floors above
ground and one floor underground. On the first floor is the Exhibition Hall
with a total area of 8,000 m2, divisible into 4 separate halls or
combined into larger halls depending on the size of the event. The Convention
Hall is located on the third floor, divisible into 3 halls or able to be
combined into larger spaces, with a total of 1,336 m2. A total of 12
meeting rooms in varying sizes are located throughout the center as well to
accommodate smaller meetings.
Ulsan
Exhibition and Convention Center boasts outstanding accessibility, located
within a 10-minute walk from the KTX Ulsan Station. The KTX will take delegates
to and from Seoul in 2 hours and to Busan in just 20 minutes.
Expansion of
other key MICE facilities, including accommodation and convenience facilities,
are expected to gain momentum with the opening of UECO, as well as boost
tourism to major destinations in the area, including the Yeongnam Alps,
Daewangam Park, and Taehwagang National Garden. Further down the line, a road connecting
Ulsan’s western area to the east coast is set to open, which will reduce travel
time from Gangdong Beach to KTX Ulsan Station from 1 hour to 20 minutes.
