Dates, venue and getting there

The fair runs from 28 October to 30 October 2026 at KINTEX Exhibition Center 1 in Goyang. It runs for 3 days, which is short, so deciding which halls to prioritise before arriving makes a difference. Goyang lies within the wider Seoul metropolitan area and hosts a large exhibition complex. Most international visitors stay in Seoul and travel out, so check the connection and journey time when planning your schedule.

Planning your visit

The value here is technical depth. Exhibitors bring engineers as well as sales staff, and the useful conversations tend to be about tolerances, throughput, maintenance intervals and spare part availability rather than headline price. For Korea Metal Week 2026, that means preparing ahead of the October dates and arriving with a target list of stands.

Language and interpreting support

English coverage among exhibitors varies, and is often stronger among sales staff than among the engineers who can answer detailed technical questions. For technical sourcing in particular, arranging language support in advance is worth the effort. An interpreter already working in Goyang saves further time simply by knowing the venue and how to move around it.

After the fair

The follow-up is about capability rather than price. Confirm what support exists in your region, what the spare parts lead time looks like, and how the manufacturer handles commissioning. A pre-shipment inspection and a documented acceptance test are worth arranging for capital equipment.
