The Gwangju International Food Fair will be at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center from November 20th through 23rd. It is called "The Largest International Food Fair in Southern Korea" by the Ministry of Knowledge and Economy, though I don't know if it has any competition. From the website you can download a rather uninformative English brochure and browse galleries from years past.

I go every year, for obvious reasons, but it usually blows. It is full of old people and children. There are constant fights as they all try to get free samples of yet another Korean taste treat.
It is supposed to be an opportunity for vendors to find new outlets for their products but it is really a tourism event. I have only made one contact and even that guy gave up on trying to sell his products in Korea when he realized that there were really no potential buyers other than two or three whities.
I guess the city of Gwangju has to justify the construction of the Kim Daejung Convention Center somehow.
Clearly what we need is an Arena Football team.
It is a very nice facility, and I'll be attending the food fair. Thanks for filling in some of the gaps, though.
