It was not so difficult finding the way to COEX.
It’s located in Gangnam, a one-minute walk from the subway station.
There were so many people, even though I picked the least busy day.
There were so many booths participating this year. It was so much fun trying out all the games they had and winning prizes.
I was there to find out about the latest trends in AI technology, but got a little lost along the way chasing prizes instead!
I use JetBrains for my IDE, so this was heaven.
Seagate had a game where you had to put blocks together to spell out a given word.
What's funny about this is that the guy on the left let me keep playing for a while, which made me believe I was winning.
But there was actually a time limit, and I was way past it.
He was like, "Oh, that was close... well, sorry to tell you, but you can't take the prize." And let me tell you, it was nowhere CLOSE!! (He was just being nice, letting me finish.)

There were so many well-known tech companies, including GitLab, JetBrains, elice, Flow, Notion, Google Cloud, and more.
There was even my bootcamp company, which I was so glad to see!
They released an AI workflow system, and I mean I HAD TO participate as a former student of their bootcamp. (Second photo on the left)
I got so many free trials after doing some surveys.
For me, the best part was getting the one-month free trial from Gemini Enterprise, but there were so many other companies offering generous free trials exclusively at this exhibition.
What drew my attention was that there were so many workflow-based AI solutions helping not only tech companies but also everyone from small business owners to corporations.
I feel like that's how you know how important AI has become in the market: everyone is able to use it fully without knowing a single line of code.
One example was this company, they provide a B2B solution that visualizes the entire business flow, and they create a personalized web page for that visualization. It was particularly interesting how they could customize everything, using sources from the chat between the customer and the client. I wish I remembered their name, but I don't recall it, and I didn't take a photo because I was so absorbed in listening to their pitch. I mean, I would've used it if I were a business owner who didn't know a single line of code. It was like they took all the best parts of AI solution products and put them all together. It was a startup company, and I hope they don't go out of business.
(The photo shown below does not depict the company -
However, if you want to find out more about You.com, you can check out their website. )
I personally have experience using n8n during their free trial period and had so much joy working with an AI agent, so I'm looking forward to trying other companies' products.
One more interesting company that caught my attention was Flitto.
They let you sell your data or buy data as a client. It was really the 'eBay' of data.
One last thing - there were all kinds of cool things at the conference, but what about robots? I mean, robots are a MUST at any tech conference, am I right?
And..
Of course, there was a robot doing Jujitsu!!! It was freaking cool, it’s a shame I can’t upload a video on my blog yet.
Plus, I could’ve taken these cute babies out to Mars, probably.
I had so much fun and learned so much at AI Summit Seoul 2026, and brought back so many memories with me.
I would love to participate in other summits happening all over the world.
Hope this post finds the right people on the internet and sparks a little interest for the next one!
