Venue Vibes: Meet Josun Palace
We locked down Seoul. Now we're filling it with brains, bytes & barely contained chaos.
This isn't some dry panel snoozefest. It's a high-signal, low-BS hangout for builders & traders who actually ship. Two rooms. One mission: collide ideas with real humans in the trenches.
What to expect:
- • Front room – Presentations, A/V, and unconference-style convos that don't suck
- • Booth Area - Tables, networking, & good place to trade alpha.
- • Delicious Food & Drinks
- • Vibes = gigabrain meets rooftop afterparty energy
