Silicon Valley and Asia’s Leading Tech Figures to Gather in Seoul
Now in its 8th year, AI Summit Seoul evolves into a global conference and expo, bringing together AI leaders from around the world. Executives from Google, Alibaba, Manus AI, and Genspark to headline the event this November.
Seoul, Korea — DMK Global announced that it will host “AI Summit Seoul & EXPO 2025” on November 10–11 at COEX, Seoul, featuring a large-scale global exhibition and conference dedicated to artificial intelligence.
Co-hosted by DMK Global, the Korea International Trade Association (KITA), and COEX, this year’s event will take place across multiple venues — with the Grand Ballroom hosting the main conference and Hall B featuring a large-scale exhibition.
Having established itself as one of the most influential AI industry events in Asia, AI Summit Seoul & Expo 2025 expands significantly in scale this year. The event will cover a wide range of topics — from real-world enterprise applications of AI agents to next-generation AI chips that could follow GPUs — showcasing the latest trends shaping the AI industry.
Global Thought Leaders Join as Keynote Speakers
The keynote lineup includes Junyang Lin, Tech Lead for Alibaba’s Qwen Model; Donald Thompson, Senior Engineer at Microsoft/LinkedIn; Tao Jiang, Co-founder and CPO of Manus AI; Wen Sang, Co-founder and COO of Genspark; and Matt Park, former CBO of Scale AI. These distinguished leaders are driving innovation in the global AI landscape and will share their insights on the rapidly evolving AI agent ecosystem.
Junyang Lin has spearheaded the development of Alibaba’s large language model Qwen, elevating China’s AI technology to world-class standards. Donald Thompson, formerly at OpenAI and now leading generative AI strategy and architecture at Microsoft/LinkedIn, is also known for having led the development of Bing’s knowledge graph “Satori.”
Tao Jiang oversees product strategy and user experience design at Manus AI, the company behind the world’s first fully autonomous AI agent. Wen Sang is reimagining human–AI collaboration through Genspark’s hyper-agent platform, serving as a key figure in designing operational frameworks that bridge technology and business. Finally, Matt Park, who previously led the business operations at Scale AI—acquired by Meta in a deal valued at $14.3 billion—has been recognized as a strategist accelerating the industrial adoption of agentic intelligence.
Together, these speakers will trace the trajectory of AI’s evolution ‘from models to missions, from infrastructure to interaction,’ presenting a new era where AI systems can think and collaborate independently.
Expanded Scale and New “Physical AI” Track
This year’s summit will be the largest ever, expanding to four parallel tracks (A–D). The newly added Track D will spotlight “Physical AI,” exploring how AI technologies integrate with the physical world through robotics, autonomous systems, and smart hardware. It will be a platform to discuss how AI is moving beyond digital boundaries to transform the real world.
Under the theme “AI for Everything, Everything for AI,” the event highlights a pivotal turning point for the global AI industry. While generative AI has captured public imagination through text and image generation, the next phase of innovation centers on intelligent agents — systems that understand goals and execute tasks autonomously.
Leading global companies are already surpassing the limits of single AI models by integrating real-time information through RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), building multi-agent systems for collaboration, and adopting orchestration technologies to coordinate complex workflows — fundamentally redefining enterprise productivity.
The Age of Enterprise AI Agents
AI architecture is evolving rapidly. Traditional prompt–response models are being replaced by workflow-based AI, which automates the entire process from data retrieval and planning to tool execution and result verification. This shift is deeply integrated with enterprise IT infrastructure, cloud services, and governance frameworks — marking the full onset of the “Enterprise AI Agent Era.”
Throughout the summit, attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge agentic AI trends, real-world industry applications, technical architectures, and innovation case studies from global leaders. The event aims to provide practical guidance for companies exploring AI adoption strategies.
The Hall B exhibition zone will feature interactive demonstrations of diverse AI solutions, while an expanded hands-on workshop program will allow participants to gain practical experience with the latest technologies.
Sejung Park, CEO of DMK Global, stated,
“This year’s summit will focus on AI agents, AI+X convergence, and industry-proven case studies, establishing a world-class platform for global knowledge exchange. We are already seeing unprecedented interest from international attendees and companies.”
Registration is available through the official website (www.aisummitseoul.com), and all conference ticket holders will receive free access to the exhibition hall.
