Impressions (Planned)
Today is November 15, 2025. The “2025 Korea AI Education Festival” runs from Friday, November 21 to Saturday, November 22, so it hasn’t started yet. With plans to visit soon, a calm excitement and anticipation are building. Thinking of the diverse experiences and exhibitions I’ll see at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2, Hall 7B in Goyang’s Ilsan, it feels like knowledge will gently seep into my mind like the first light of dawn.
I’m especially looking forward to the opening ceremony and combined awards. I can vividly picture the voices on stage, the applause, and the excitement spreading through the air under the lights. I’m also eager to see teachers, students, parents, and company representatives sharing stories in one space. On-site, I plan to check the locations of booths of interest in advance, sketch a light route, and split visits to the experience zones to avoid peak times.
I’m glad it’s free, so I can drop by without pressure. I’ll take my time, look around, and capture memorable moments in photos to share in a post-visit review.
