Korea Blockchain Week

Thirteen thousand people. One hillside. One Wi-Fi.

When Late September 2026 · expected, not yet published Where Seoul (Walkerhill in recent years) Official site

KBW puts a conference on a resort above the Han River and wraps it in three hundred side events you get invited to by email an hour before they start. None of that works on venue Wi-Fi.

Dates are the ones this event has used in recent years. The organiser had not published 2026 days when this page was written on September 8, 2026; check the official site before booking flights.

이유

Why venue Wi-Fi is not a plan

Side events are announced on Telegram and Luma, not on a printed schedule

Google Maps cannot route you in Korea; Naver Map and KakaoMap can, with data

Kakao T is how you get a taxi, and it is an app, not a rank

Venue Wi-Fi at 13,000 people is a coin toss.

지혜

What actually catches people out

Getting there

The venue sits east of the river. Budget an hour from Gangnam in evening traffic, twenty minutes at dawn.

Side events

Luma is where the real schedule lives. Check it hourly; the good ones cap at eighty people.

Paying

Card works nearly everywhere. Keep ₩30,000 in cash for the pojangmacha tents afterwards.

Timing

KBW usually lands next to Chuseok, when half the country is travelling. Book beds and trains early.

질문

Four questions, answered straight

When does the clock start?

Not at purchase. Buy today; your days begin the first time the eSIM connects in the country.

How long does setup take?

About two minutes. We email a QR code; scan it before you fly.

Is 'unlimited' really unlimited?

For Korea: 1GB a day at full speed, then unlimited at 5Mbps. We print the number instead of hiding it.

Can I hotspot?

Yes. It shares your daily allowance.
