   The Korea International Amusement Parks & Attractions Show (KOPA) was created to bring together domestic and foreign amusement technologies and related companies for the purposes of expanding market opportunities in this growing field and exchanging information.
  Following the wellreceived launch of the event last year, KOPA 2003 will build on this success by hosting over 110 participant companies including major Japanese, American, Chinese and Taiwanese players to make the show a truly international event. KOPA 2003 will run at the Convention Hall of the Convention & Exhibition Center (COEX) from July 25th to 27th 2003. While restricting the first two days of the show (25th and 26th) to industry professionals only, the organizers have wisely decided to the open the show to the public on the final day of the show¡¯s three-day run (27th) in recognition of the enormous popular interest in an event of this sort.
  With an exhibit profile that will include arcade games, karaoke machines, one-armed bandits, jukeboxes, PlayStation2, virtual reality games and simulators of all kinds, KOPA 2003 is guaranteed to fascinate children of all ages!

   Korea Shop & Design Show 2003 (combined with Retail Technology & Auto-ID Show 2003) is the only major shop fitting, display and merchandising trade fair to be held in Korea. This year¡¯s event, the fourth in the series, will kick off July 22nd 2003 for a fourday run at the Pacific Hall of the COEX. A full range of shop and retail fitting equipment of highest level will be displayed and represented under one roof at Korea Shop 2003, making the event an exceptional occasion to view the latest in fittings technology and expand business contacts. The 2002 Korea Shop & Design Show attracted more than 12,000 visitors and 60 exhibitors to lay the ground for an even more successful event this year. Exhibit items will range from shop fitting equipment, display fittings, shop space design and graphics, shop pictures, equipment and decorations together with point-ofsale systems to mention just a few.
  Korea Shop 2003 will provide fittings specialists with the perfect opportunity to establish a rapport with key buyers not only in Korea but also the entire East Asia region.

   The outlook is bright for Korea¡¯s livestock industry. The geo-economic location of the country, juxtaposed between the major markets of China, Japan and Russia bodes well for future exports, while rising local consumption of eggs and poultry (below what might be suggested by Korea¡¯s GNP) milk, pork and beef (the preferred meat of Koreans) point to a buoyant domestic demand.
  Korea International Livestock Expo 2003 (KISTOCK 2003), to run for four days from July 3rd 2003 at the Pacific Hall, COEX provides a window for related suppliers to service this high-potential market. Participants will exhibit under the categories of genetics, nutrition, equipment, products, sanitation and services. Within these general headings, the exhibit/service profile will vary from artificial insemination and embryo transplantation to diet supplements and feeding equipment, and from disinfectants and milk processing machinery to automatic egg graders and water filtration systems.
  KISTOCK 2003 is the third in the series that began in 1999. The two previous shows attracted over 150 exhibitors, the 2001 event drawing them from 15 countries. Over 200 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees are expected to attend this year¡¯s event, making it the largest livestock-related trade event in Korea.

  Korea has 12,000 dental clinics and 20,000 dentists, their numbers being augmented by 700 new graduates from 11 dental colleges every year. There are also 1,500 dental laboratories, 6,500 dental lab technicians and 22,000 hygienists working in dental clinics. This level of dental care has been achieved in a relatively short time. Responding to the needs of this growing sector, the 2003 Korea International Dental Exhibition & Conference (KDX 2003) is the inaugural trade show for the dental equipment industry in Korea. The show will cover a wide range of dental equipment industry products from disposables and oral care items to laboratory apparatus. With 200 exhibitors already committed and an anticipated 20,000 visitors expected, KDX 2003 affords one of the finest opportunities in East Asia to promote and position a dental equipment business.
  KDX 2003 will also feature a conference on dentistry to be held concurrently in which global experts will share their expertise and experiences with delegates, so providing a superb forum for interaction with leading dentists, industrialists, technocrats and academicians. The event will run from Aug. 21st to 24th 2003 at the COEX in Seoul.

  This July, construction and architectural specialists from all over the globe will gather at the COEX to learn how the design of public facilities can be made more attractive, convenient and effective.
  The focus of their interest will be the Kyunghyang International Public Installation Show. To be held at COEX, July 10th to 14th 2003 the show is designed to highlight new directions in architectural and interior decoration.
