From Kakao, Byunghak Kim, Performance Leader of Kanana, and Kim Sewoong, Performance Leader of AI Synergy, are participating.

The forum's first meeting was held on November 10. Under the theme of "Agentic AI," the meeting focused on how AI will reshape organizations, businesses, and platform strategies.

Noh Jungseok, CEO of BFactory, presented on "The Evolution Direction of Individual Businesses in the AI Era," while Sim Kyuhyun, CEO of Lesser, discussed "Organizational Structure Changes Driven by Agentic AI." This was followed by a presentation from Kim Sewoong, Kakao Performance Leader, on "Agentic AI Transformation: A New Beginning for Platform Strategy."
