Following the successful first Global Web3 Developer Conference (GWDC HK) held in Hong Kong in February this year, which ignited the technology wave in the Asia-Pacific region and gathered over 2000 industry elites, the conference organizer Web3Labs officially announced a significant upgrade today: the second Global Web3 Developer Conference (GWDC 2026 Korea) will take place from September 29 to 30 at the aT Center in Seoul, South Korea. This conference will continue to uphold the hardcore geek spirit of "For Builders, By Builders," focusing on Asia's top technology hubs, and is dedicated to creating a new paradigm for the global Web3 developer ecosystem and the integration of next-generation industries.
According to the organizers' latest forecast, the Seoul edition will see a comprehensive transformation and leap in scale. At that time, over 8000 participants, 500 top global developers, 100 industry-leading speakers, and 100 exhibitors will gather in Seoul to witness the historic moment of the deep integration of Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI), opening a new chapter in the development of Web3 in Asia.
Space Restructuring: Four Key Exhibition Areas Multi-Dimensionally Deconstructing the Future of Web3
GWDC 2026 Korea breaks the single-dimensional model of traditional exhibitions, reconstructing space layout at the aT Center in Seoul through four core theme exhibition areas, covering macro strategies, technical practices, geek competitions, and business matchmaking:
Main Stage | Strategic Leadership and Global Dialogue
The main stage is the top-level design and macro strategy core of this conference. The conference will invite government officials from Hong Kong and South Korea, decision-makers from global technology giants, and visionaries in the Web3 field to engage in deep discussions. The topics will strongly focus on "policy synergy" and cross-border collaboration, rigorously analyzing AI implementation applications and next-generation decentralized infrastructures, defining new trends in Asian technology.
Innovation Stage | Deep Collision of Vertical Technologies
The sub-forum rejects empty theoretical discussions, aiming to deliver practical insights for real-world applications. The conference precisely establishes three core specialized sessions: "Developer Ecosystem," focusing on the evolution of open-source culture and development toolchains; "Web3 and Financial Infrastructure," decoding new pathways for RWA, DeFi, and cross-border financial innovations; and "AI and Cloud Native," targeting the underlying code behind model training and infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, the grand finale of the conference—the GWDC Hackathon final and award ceremony—will also be held here for peak presentations.
Innovation Booth Zone | Immersive Marketplace of Cutting-Edge Technologies
Planning over 99 thematic booths, spanning diverse tracks including AI, blockchain, SaaS, and developer tools (DevTools). The exhibition area abandons the dull traditional stall model and fully promotes "interactive demos" to showcase project strengths. On-site, there will be 30 top KOLs conducting follow-ups and high-frequency interactions with global social media, as well as creatively integrating popular local "high-profile girl group flash dance" with hardcore tech exhibition areas, significantly activating the flow in the exhibition area.
Hackathon Zone | 48-Hour Extreme Programming Challenge
As the soul section of the conference, the hackathon is gathering over 500 elite geeks from China, South Korea, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia. This competition breaks the constraints of a single ecosystem, specially inviting 5 leading public chains to simultaneously release development challenges. The organizing committee has equipped a prize pool of over $100,000 and received significant computing power and resources support from top global cloud service providers, creating the ultimate testing ground linking top capital, public chain ecosystems, and genius developers.
