International Data Week 2022 Early Bird Registration and Travel Update

International Data Week 2022 Early Bird Registration and Travel Update

International Data Week (IDW) takes place in Seoul, South Korea from 20-23 June 2022. IDW 2022 will be held as a hybrid conference for the first time with in-person and virtual participation options. 

Recognizing that COVID guidelines and travel restrictions are relaxing in the Republic of Korea, we want to ensure you have enough time to plan your travel and have access to the most cost-effective registration fees to attend IDW 2022. It has therefore been decided to extend the Early Bird Registration to Tuesday, May 31.

If you have already registered to attend IDW 2022 virtually, you now have an opportunity to upgrade to an in-person registration status by following the instructions located at idw2022.org.  Regarding travel procedures in the Republic of Korea, fully vaccinated travelers can now enter the country without having to quarantine.  However, overseas visitors will still be required to submit a pre-departure negative PCR test certificate to Q-CODE and take a second PCR test at Incheon International Airport a maximum of 24 hours after arrival in the Republic of Korea. 

Discounted hotel rates of AccorHotels brands such as Novotel, Ibis Styles, and Novotel Suites are now secured for IDW 2022 attendees. Located in the center of Seoul, these hotels are the largest in Asia offering everything a customer needs, from leisure to business. 

For your convenience, all onsite conference sessions will be held at Seoul Dragon City, South Korea’s first-ever lifestyle hotel-complex. The venue features the widest range of convention space in Seoul, multiple restaurants and bars, and the amazing Sky Bridge.

The complex is located next to Yongsan Station, a major transportation hub in Seoul, where railway and three subway lines run, and offers convenient access to central business and leisure districts.
