SEOUL – The convergence of technologies will take centre stage at the 28th edition of the Korea International Broadcast , Audio and Lighting Equipment Show ( KOBA ).

Taking place at the COEX Convention and Exhibition Centre in Seoul from May 15-18 , KOBA 2018 is co-organised by the Korea Broadcasting Engineers and Technicians Association ( KOBETA ) and Korea E & X , and will highlight the best of South Korean broadcast technology , as well as promote the development of the country ’ s image , sound and lighting industries .

KOBA 2018 will be held over 27,997sqm of exhibition space in three Halls . Hall A consists of pro-audio , pro-lighting and stage equipment , as well as church facilities and musical instrument sections ; Hall B consists of post production , distribution and

delivery , digital content , as well as electric display , electric power unit and measuring equipment sections ; and Hall D consists of the production and broadcast equipment sections .

According to the show organisers , KOBA , since its inception in 1991 , has been the only multimedia exhibition in South Korea that has consistently introduced the latest updates and technologies in the multimedia industry .

This year , KOBA will address how the emergence of new media and the increasing diversity of media are contributing to the creation of different industries and demand .

Visitors can also expect to check out the latest innovations in technologies such as artificial intelligence ( AI ), big data , the Internet of Things ( IoT ), virtual reality ( VR ), and augmented reality ( AR ), among others .

Away from the exhibition floors , more than 80 international broadcast technology conference sessions will also be hosted by KOBETA , addressing key issues relating to the sound and broadcast industries .

Last year , KOBA attracted 40,191 local and overseas visitors representing 29 countries , a number the show organisers will hope to eclipse this year , as KOBA 2018 aims to provide a platform for the discussion of new concepts in broadcasting , as well as the modernisation of South Korea ’ s video , audio and lighting industries .
