Venue

CEWIT 2010 will be held at the Songdo ConvensiA Convention Center in Incheon, South Korea. Incheon, officially the Incheon Metropolitan City, is South Korea’s third largest metropolis, after Seoul and Busan. As the largest seaport on the west coast and home to the country’s largest airport, Incheon International Airport, Incheon is South Korea’s most important transport hub. In the 21st century, Incheon has transformed into a global business hub centered around the high-tech and futuristic Songdo International City, which is home to South Korea’s tallest building, the 305m Northeast Asia Trade Tower.
