The schedule includes two packed days of speeches on two stages called BLOCK and HASH.

The speeches will be followed by a number of networking dinners and parties hosted by the event organizers and sponsors. Seoul FESTA, a global festival for lovers of Korean culture, offers an interesting interlude on August 10.
The main event will close just before the Formula E World Championship on August 13-14 – the first time this competition lands in the streets of Seoul. The 2022 World DJ Festival will open the E-Prix with music from the best international artists.
