“GWDC 2026 KOREA”, the new Asian paradigm of Web3 and AI, landed in Seoul on September 29-30, inviting you to the pinnacle of global developers
Following the successful hosting of the first Global Web3 Developers Conference (GWDC HK) in Hong Kong in February this year, sparking the Asia-Pacific technology wave and bringing together more than 2,000 industry elites, Web3 Labs, the conference organizer, officially announced a major upgrade today: the 2nd Global Web3 Developers Conference (GWDC 2026 Korea) will land at aT Center in Seoul, South Korea from September 29th to 30th. The conference will continue to adhere to the hard-core geek spirit of “For Builders, By Builders”, focus on Asia's top tech highlands, and strive to create a new paradigm for the integration of the global Web3 developer ecosystem with next-generation industries.
According to the latest predictions of the organizing committee, Seoul Station will usher in a full-scale fission and leap up in scale. At that time, more than 8,000 participants, 500 of the world's top developers, 100 major industry speakers, and 100 exhibitors will gather in Seoul to witness the historic moment of the deep integration of Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI), and open a new chapter in the development of Web3 in Asia.
Space Reshaping: Deconstructing the Future of Web3 in Multiple Dimensions in Four Core Exhibitions
GWDC 2026 Korea Station broke the single dimension of traditional exhibitions and reshaped the spatial layout at the Seoul aT Center. Through four core themed exhibition areas, it covered a full range of macroeconomic strategies, technical practices, geek contests, and business matchmaking:
Main Stage (Main Stage) ｜ Strategic Leadership and Global Dialogue
The main stage is the core of the top-level design and macro-strategy of this conference. The conference will invite government officials from Hong Kong, China and South Korea, decision makers from global tech giants, and visionaries in the Web3 field to play an in-depth game. The topics will focus strongly on “policy coordination” and cross-border cooperation, hard-core dismantling of AI applications and next-generation decentralized infrastructure, and defining new trends in Asian technology.
Innovation Stage (Innovation Stage) ｜ Deep collision of vertical technology
The sub-forum rejected empty talk of theory and aimed to deliver practical practical insights. The conference accurately launched three core sessions: “Developer Ecosystem” focused on the evolution of open source culture and development tool chains; “Web3 and Financial Infrastructure” deciphering new paths of RWA, DeFi, and cross-border financial innovation; and “AI and Cloud Native” directly targeted the underlying code behind model training and architecture upgrades. In addition, the grand finale of the conference, the GWDC Hackathon Finals and Awards Ceremony, will also be the pinnacle of the road show here.
Innovation Booth Zone (Innovation Booth Zone) ｜ An immersive marketplace for cutting-edge technology
Plan more than 99 themed booths across diverse arenas such as AI, blockchain, SaaS, and developer tools (DevTools). The exhibition area abandoned the boring traditional stall model and fully implemented an “interactive demo” to show the hard power of the project. Not only did 30 top KOLs follow up and link with global social media at high frequency, but they also cleverly integrated the highly popular “Good-looking Girl Group Flash Dance” in Korea with the hard-core technology exhibition area to boost traffic in the exhibition area.
Hackathon Zone (Hackathon Zone) | 48-Hour Extreme Programming Challenge
As the soul of the conference, the hackathon is bringing together more than 500 geek elites from China, Korea, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia. The competition broke the shackles of a single ecosystem and invited 5 leading public chains to release development challenges simultaneously. To this end, the organizing committee provided a cash prize pool of more than 100,000 US dollars, and received huge computing power and resources from the world's top cloud service providers to create the ultimate testing ground linking top capital, public chain ecosystem, and talented developers.
