CHAIN STORE '98
A revolution is under way in Korean retailing fuelled by the rising living standards
and increasing sophistication of the Korean consumer. Traditional family-owned
stores are gradually giving way to the convenience, variety, buying power, and level
of service offered by new forms of retailing, among them, the chain store. The 1998
Seoul International Chain Store Show aims to enable operators keep abreast of
developments in the trade by offering a sample of the latest in food and beverage
products and domestic products, plus a range of systems to enhance their product
storage, display, handling, pricing and labelling capabilities. The rise in the popularity
of the show is evidenced by the fact Chain Store '97 attracted some 142 companies
from 14 countries, a two-and-a-half-fold increase since the show's inception in
1991. Runs at the COEX Nov. 25 to Nov. 28.
MEDIA & FILM EXPO '98
The rise of the Korean film, video and animation industry has prompted the need for
a showcase for associated leading-edge technologies, a need which has found its
expression in the annual Seoul Media & Film Expo. This year's expo will feature
hi-tech media exhibits such as DVD, video conferencing and multimedia systems;
media S/W and PC-based media S/W for video, film, CD-ROM title, graphics, laser
disk, animation and simulation applications; and H/W such as production, photography
and photographic development equipment. Last year's event drew 36,000 vistors,
more than three-quarters of whom were were in industry mangement, purchasing,
sales and marketing, research and development, or technical support. The COEX will
host the Media & Film Expo from Dec. 3 to Dec. 6.
KOSIGN '98
Signs from giant advertising boards to point-of-purchase devices and using
technology ranging from fiber optics to LED and neon will be on display at the 1998
Korea International Sign Show to be held at the COEX Dec. 5 to Dec. 8. The 103
companies exhibiting at 382 booths at last year's KOSIGN attracted over 72,000
visitors, 10,000 of whom were in a related technical field, a further 10,000 were
management, while 5,000 were directly involved in industry purchasing. Overall, an
indication of the show's value to the industry was that a huge 64 percent indicated the
purpose of their presence was to purchase.
SIMESTA '98
No surer way exists to tap Korea's burgeoning agricultural machinery market than
the 1998 Seoul International Exhi-bition of Machinery, Science & Technology for
Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, and Livestock, the largest of its kind held in the
country. Last year's SIMESTA demonstrated the strength of the show in attracting
key decision makers regarding agricultural machinery purchases - 61 percent of
1997's visitors were farmers. Imports, which stood at $221 million in 1996, show a
trend to fully automatic, heavier and therefore more expensive equipment. Capture
your share of Korea's $1.6 billion Agriculture Industry market at this year's
SIMESTA, to be staged at the Korea Convention and Exhibition Centre (COEX) Nov.
16 to Nov. 21.
