Korea’s K-Consafety Expo to return in Oct 2026; exhibitor registration now opens

Korea International Construction & Industrial Safety Expo (K-Consafety Expo) is set to return on 14-16 October 2026 at the Korea International Exhibition Centre (Kintex) in Goyang, South Korea. Exhibitor registration is now open, with early-bird discounts available until 27 February 2026.

Supported by major government ministries, public institutions and more than 40 industry associations, K-Consafety Expo serves as an internationally certified exhibition that brings together the latest advanced construction technologies and smart safety solutions in one venue.

According to the organiser, the 2026 edition will place a strong emphasis on AI, robotics and drone-integrated safety technologies, offering practical solutions that enhance accident prevention and emergency-response capabilities for project owners, contractors and facility management authorities.

In line with the global construction market’s rapid 18.6% annual growth in AIoT technologies, the event will also work to expand participation by global technology companies and strengthen international buyer programmes, said the organiser.

In 2025, despite the Korean government’s strengthened safety policies, construction sites and various industrial sectors continued to experience frequent accidents. As a result, the government is shifting its focus from post-accident response to proactive accident prevention, and is expected to expand policies centred on AI-, robotics- and smart-technology–based disaster and safety management throughout the coming year.

This shift was reflected at K-Consafety Expo 2025, held in September. A wide range of cutting-edge safety technologies – including AI-powered control platforms, digital-twin–based site monitoring systems and robotic devices for entering high-risk areas – were showcased, drawing strong attention to their effectiveness and growing necessity in the field.

The 2025 event also featured 31 conferences organised by prominent construction and safety institutions, along with a Special Pavilion on Underground Safety, enabling visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of emerging industry issues such as smart construction, digitalisation and advanced site-safety management.

The last edition achieved a record-breaking performance with 186 exhibiting companies, over 20,000 visitors and more than 2,000 business consultations, highlighting its growing influence as a leading industry platform.

Note: Exhibitor registration is open on the event website. Companies that apply by 27 February 2026 will receive early-bird discounts as well as pre-event promotional support.
