It is a start of “New normal” in events, TAB International team had been involved for this Forum’s preparation from March 2020 for nearly 5 months with new worries and guesses of the future right after COVID-19’s outbreak in global scale.

In the end, two speakers flew in Seoul, one from US, the other from Denmark, with special huge effort of many parties involved. Some speakers attempted to come to join onsite, but it did not happen due to many safety-related issues.

Nevertheless the Forum went smoothly with all enthusiastic speakers and limited onsite audiences and over hundred of virtual participants. We will see how this Forum will go next year.
