While you can still register for the event using PayPal, we’ve decided to extend the early bird registration deadline to 8th November (KST). We’ve been informed that the error may take up to 2 days to resolve. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend using PayPal for registration. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Additionally, the deadline for speaker registration is still 5th November, and failure to register may result in the cancellation of your presentation.
