The attendees discussed the overall program structure and detailed operational plans.

Main agenda items included the topics and session composition of the academic conference, online and offline promotional strategies, plans for cultural events and performers, management of domestic and international participants, venue layout, and safety management measures. The current progress in each area was shared, and supplementary measures for each field were reviewed.

Through this meeting, Jeonnam Province plans to closely examine the progress in each area during the remaining preparation period and to further enhance the quality of the event.
