KES will not only be holding a huge electronics expo, but also various conferences and talks on future government policies regarding IT and various government ministries. For example, the Ministry of Defense will be meeting various firms about installing IT systems on ships, while the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries will be looking to find IT solutions on growing cabbage.

These conferences and meetings will provide insights into how companies can develop their products in the future as well, allowing them to create more and better IT solutions that the government might require in the future.

KES will also act as a marketplace for R&D suppliers such as universities, research firms and research institutes to market their products. Without natural resources or infrastructure, currently the strength in the Korean IT industry lies in its ability to develop technology. The KES will be the place for them to show off their end results. Buyers will be happy too; what better place to find new technology all together in one place than KES! Currently around domestic 50,000 visitors are scheduled to attend as well as 2,000 foreign buyers. Distributors from India, Russia, Canada, Japan, China and Indonesia are expected to attend as well.
