Global media channel AVING News will conduct real-time live broadcasts of the Korea International Beer Expo (KIBEX) 2024 and Drink Seoul 2024 at COEX in Seoul on April 11th and 12th.
KIBEX will present a composite event covering Korea’s latest beer trends and brewing industry. KIBEX 2023 saw a doubling of the growth rate compared to the previous year, with the largest number of domestic brewery participating companies and foreign companies visiting Korea directly due to the Corona pandemic.
DRINK SEOUL, taking place concurrently with KIBEX, will provide participants with a convenient opportunity to encounter various premium traditional spirits, wine, distilled spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages in one place.
The Korea International Beer Conference (KIBCON) and the Korea International Beer Awards (KIBA) will also return in full force after the pandemic.
As a cornerstone of KIBEX 2024, KIBCON will cover various topics on the latest global trends and changes in 2024. For three days, 15 sessions, including ‘Craft Beer Market & Challenge,’ ‘Quality Beer & Liquor Session,’ and ‘Beer & Liquor Business Session,’ will feature 14 companies and 15 speakers providing practical solutions tailored to global trends and the Korean market.
KIBA, the international competition that finally began last year due to the pandemic, has also prepared to shine even brighter this year. Aiming to solve the difficulties of shipping and packaging, 41 global judges will judge and then award the winners at the ceremony on the main stage of KIBEX 2024 on April 12th. This year’s entry beers and breweries for KIBA are also growing annually on a record scale.
