Regional Business Conferences.

Overview

World-OKTA organizes Regional Business Conferences to strengthen unity among regional members, enhance business networks, and foster new chapter development while contributing to the economic revitalization of local communities. These conferences, hosted by OKTA chapters across different continents, also aim to elevate the status of Korean traders within their respective regions.

​

The conferences include the America Business Conference, the Europe Business Conference, the Japan Business Conference, the China Business Conference, and the Southeast Asia Business Conference, among others. These events feature seminars, discussions on chapter development strategies, networking dinners, and expert lectures. Additionally, they invite distinguished speakers such as consuls general, KOTRA representatives, and local industry experts to share insights on promising regional economic ventures and successful business cases.

​

In 2010, the event was renamed from the Regional Revitalization Conference to the Regional Business Conference, reflecting its growing focus on economic information exchange and business expansion among Korean traders. Moving forward, OKTA aims to continue strengthening its business network, fostering pride and unity among members, and identifying new opportunities for chapter expansion.

​

Each conference gathers approximately 200 attendees, including OKTA executives, local chapter members, and officials from relevant institutions. The event is held in the location proposed by the hosting chapter.
