2026 Korea Social Value Festa will be held over two days, from Monday, September 21 to Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at COEX Hall A in Seoul, under the slogan 'INSIGHT FOR ACTION, IMPACT FOR SOCIETY.' It is Korea's largest social value festival, bringing together approximately 15,000 participants — from government, businesses, academia, and the public — to address pressing challenges such as regional decline and low birth rates.

The key change this year is the transformation of the exhibition structure. Moving beyond a model in which each booth introduced its own initiative, four zones — Cooperation / Innovation & Environment / Regional / Society — are now organically connected. The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry serves as the 'Orchestrator,' linking over 300 booths across the four zones and fostering collaboration among participating organizations.

Three new content tracks are added: a Networking Night for cross-stakeholder exchange; participatory programs including a Social Value Film Festival and stronger public outreach through official social channels and collaborations with local governments. The existing core programs — the Leaders Summit, expert lectures and discussion sessions, and the business networking — will also expand in both scale and depth.
