The Khronos Group - a non-profit industry consortium to develop, publish and promote open standard, royalty-free media authoring and acceleration standards for desktop and handheld devices, combined with conformance qualification programs for platform and device interoperability.

Date: October 7, 2009
Location: COEX ballroom, Seoul Korea
Website: http://www.kgconf.com/

Khronos standards are fundamental to many of the technologies on display at KGC. If you manufacture develop multimedia content for games, DCC, CAD or mobile devices, you should attend Khronos Group’s DevU (Developer University) to learn about these new industry standards for royalty-free multimedia development:

• Applications driving next-generation handset requirements
• Opportunities opened up by innovation and standardization in graphics and mobile gaming
• Technological advances in multimedia handset technology

It’s been two years since Khronos Group has hosted a DevU in Seoul and you don’t want to miss your chance to attend this one. Here is a look at the rich content from our last “Developer University” in Seoul in 2007.

Taxi

You can always take a taxi, but remember that it is a long distance from Inchon (ICN) to downtown Seoul and Seoul traffic ranks near the top as the world's worst. This is by far the most expensive way to get into Seoul.
