The Miilk to Host ‘Trend Show 2027’ on Oct. 22, Featuring 10 Experts From OpenAI and Other Companies
‘AI Agenda’ conference at COEX in Seoul to present a seven-part decision map for organizations facing 2027
Silicon Valley innovation media company The Miilk will host “Trend Show 2027: AI Agenda” on Oct. 22 at COEX in Seoul. Ten industry and investment experts from global companies including OpenAI, GS, Shinhan and AWS will take part, presenting key decision-making criteria that companies and their leaders will need before 2027.
Beyond forecasts: A forum for decision-making
Now in its fifth year, Trend Show has evolved beyond a conference focused on technology and industry forecasts. This year, it has been revamped as an “AI Agenda Conference” designed to help companies and leaders make practical decisions. To help attendees return to work and put ideas into practice immediately, the event will offer concrete resources including a seven-part decision map for organizations, cost and investment data (Real Numbers) and a first action to take right away (Next Action).
“The goal of this event isn’t to hear good talks. It’s to decide what to change when you get back to work tomorrow morning,” said Son Jae-kwon, CEO of The Miilk.
From OpenAI to AWS: Insights from 10 global AI leaders
The speaker lineup features 10 experts with extensive experience across their industries. Kyunghoon Kim, CEO of OpenAI Korea, will explore the “age of delegation” and present criteria for deciding which tasks companies should assign to AI. Woonyoung Oh, head of Shinhan Premier Pathfinder, will analyze the investment landscape in the AI era based on macroeconomic indicators.
The conference will also take an in-depth look at real-world applications. Jin-ah Kim, managing director at GS Group, will discuss where large companies should begin their AI transformation (AX), drawing on on-the-ground examples. Taehoon Koo, senior solutions architect at AWS, will introduce how to design an AI stack using cloud and agentic AI.
Other speakers include Hyo-seok Lee, CEO of HS Academy; Jangwoo Kim, CEO of MangoBoost; Hak-jun Lee, CEO of Flow; Dong-geun Cho, co-CEO of Jocoding AX Partners; and Hyung-wook Choi, CEO of FastB. They will share perspectives on topics including the movement of capital, AI infrastructure, organizational productivity, how non-developers can use AI, and the future of physical AI.
Seven AI agendas for surviving in 2027
The Miilk has selected seven core agendas for this year’s Trend Show. Each session will seek to answer a fundamental question: “So what do we need to decide?”
The agendas are declaring intelligence sovereignty (criteria for choosing between ChatGPT, domestic models and open-weight models); AI economics (allocating budgets efficiently); AI and the organization of work (dividing responsibilities between humans and AI); AI refounder (how leaders can redesign their companies); the ROI of physical AI (when to expect a return on robotics investments); how to use Chinese AI (ways to leverage China’s ecosystem); and the 2027 AI investment outlook (where capital is headed).
“Trend Show 2027” will run from 10 a.m. to 5:20 p.m. on Oct. 22 in Conference Room 401 at COEX in Seoul. Registration and further details are available on The Miilk’s official Trend Show website.
