Incheon Technopark (인천테크노파크, ITP) will host ICNX 2026, the Incheon Global Conference on Advanced Media, on Nov. 3–4 in the Grand Ballroom of Songdo Convensia (송도컨벤시아). The event is organized by Incheon Metropolitan City (인천광역시) and run by ITP, with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (문화체육관광부), the Korea Creative Content Agency (한국콘텐츠진흥원, KOCCA) and the Incheon Tourism Organization (인천관광공사).

This year's theme is "Bridging EnterTech to Global Business." The two-day program has three parts: a global conference, B2B business matching and a public B2C exhibition. Talks, investment meetings and the consumer-facing showcase run side by side in the same venue.

Twenty-six investors, buyers and support agencies, including venture capital firms and accelerators, will staff 20 meeting booths. Seventeen companies will exhibit.

A talk concert will bring together YouTuber JoCoding (조코딩) and the science-and-engineering channel Geekble (긱블) to discuss how AI is changing the content industry.
