As the front line of competition in artificial intelligence (AI) shifts from models to infrastructure, a venue has been prepared where attendees can examine the current state and future of foundational technologies that actually power AI, ranging from AI data centers to cloud, graphics processing units (GPUs), neural network processing units (NPUs), power, cooling, and security.
Money Today will host the "2026 AI Infrastructure Frontier Conference" at Hall B of Seoul COEX on the 29th. The event, taking place in the AI Special Pavilion within Smart Energy Plus (SEP) 2026, focuses on connecting supply companies that build and operate AI infrastructure with enterprises actually adopting it, as well as chief information officers (CIOs) and chief AI officers (CAIOs) from the financial and public sectors. The event will run from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The first speaker is Kim Eun-ju, Head of the Intelligent Technology Infrastructure Division at the National Intelligence Defense Intelligence Command Agency for Advancement (NIA). Speaking on the topic "National AI Infrastructure and Computing Policies and Industrial Directions," she will outline government policies and the direction of domestic AI computing infrastructure.
Following her, Choi Jung-jin, Head of the Evangelist Group at Samsung SDS, will take the stage. Group Head Choi will introduce cloud and computing infrastructure strategies required for enterprises to actually adopt AI, under the theme "SCP AI Infrastructure: Enterprise AI Infrastructure Based on GPUs and Serverless."
Voices from the security field will also follow. Starting at 11:35 a.m., Moon Byung-gi, Head of the Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Business Group at SK Shielders, will deliver a lecture titled "In the AI Era, How Should OT Security Be Prepared? – From Office AI Already in Use to AI Deployment on Production Sites." The session is expected to address emerging security threats and response directions as the boundary between information technology (IT) and OT blurs while AI expands beyond office environments into manufacturing and production sites.
From noon to 2 p.m., a lunch meeting and networking session will be held, featuring key members of the AI Infrastructure Frontier (AIF) along with CIOs and CAIOs from the public and financial sectors. This is a time for AI infrastructure suppliers and actual demand-side participants to directly share on-site challenges and business and technology needs.
In the afternoon, another core program of the event, the AIF Launch Ceremony and Special Dialogue, will take place. AIF is a practical network connecting data center, cloud, GPU, server, security, power, and cooling companies with enterprises that actually use AI infrastructure, financial and public institutional investors, and investment and policy stakeholders.
The launch ceremony special dialogue will be moderated by Yoon Seok-bin (Prof.), focusing on the theme "Challenges of the AI Infrastructure Industry and the Role of AIF," where key AIF members will engage in discussion. Suppliers and demand-side participants are expected to pool their expertise to address issues actually encountered in the AI infrastructure field, such as GPU procurement, data center power and cooling, security, investment costs, and regulations. Subsequently, Chae Min-young, Manager of the Data Center Business Division at LG CNS, will present on "Cases of Overseas Expansion in the Data Center Business," and Kim Dong-hoon, Content Seol Ting-bon-bu (Director) at Softcamp, will deliver a presentation titled "Security in an Era Where AI Attacks and AI Works."
Conference registration is available through the AIF website. Pre-registration allows free access to the conference and indoor exhibition booths. The AIF website also separately accepts membership applications.
