Incheon, Korea: Informa Exhibitions, organiser of the Cityscape real estate events, has signed an agreement with the Korea Economic Daily Media Group (KED) and Incheon Metropolitan City to jointly organise Cityscape Korea, the latest addition to Cityscape’s growing portfolio of real estate exhibitions and conferences.
Cityscape Korea is scheduled to take place on 12-14 June 2015 at Songdo Convensia, strategically located within Incheon Free Economic Zone and only a short distance from Incheon International Airport and downtown Seoul.
The event is positioned as the premier international real estate investment and development event for the East Asian region, connecting real estate investors and professionals from countries including China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.
