High1 Resort, Set Amid Mountains and Forests, Lands a String of Major MICE Events

Kangwon Land-operated High1 Resort is strengthening its position as a MICE hub by hosting a series of major academic conferences and international symposia this fall.
High1 Resort said on the 15th that it had hosted a series of events, including the Korean Society of Civil Engineers' 'KSCE 2026 Convention,' held over three days starting on the 21st of last month; the '2026 Fall Joint Academic Conference of Resource Societies' and the '10th International Symposium of the Korea Mine Rehabilitation and Mineral Resources Corporation (KOMIR)' from the 4th to the 6th of this month; and the '2026 Fall Conference of the Korean Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences' from the 10th to the 13th.
Around 1,500 people, including experts and researchers in the aerospace and defense fields, attended the society's fall conference to discuss related technologies and policies.
High1 Resort also plans to host the '2026 High1 Resort Asia Model Festival' for the third consecutive year, starting on the 18th, with around 1,000 participants, including models and designers from 25 Asian countries.
High1 Resort touts as a competitive advantage its large convention facilities and accommodation, dining and leisure infrastructure, as well as the chance to enjoy events and relaxation amid a highland natural environment.
In the third quarter of this year alone, it attracted 24 major MICE events, drawing around 11,300 visitors, which is seen as having contributed significantly to revitalizing local businesses.
Kim Do-gyun, CEO of Kangwon Land, said, "We will continue to expand our efforts to attract large-scale events, drive the local economy, and take a leap forward as a global public-sector integrated resort representing South Korea."
