Kolon Benit will hold a conference to share corporate AI transformation, or AX, experiences and strategies, following up on a similar event last year. The company said the gathering aims to help business customers adopt and apply AI.

Kolon Benit announced Thursday that it will host the Kolon Benit AX Boost Summit 2026 on Oct. 13 at Seoul Dragon City in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The annual event serves as a forum for discussing the company's AX business vision and technology strategy.

This year's theme is "The Customer's AX Journey." Participants and companies are expected to share strategies for translating AI adoption into tangible business change and results. Kolon Benit said it will present ways to support customers' AX journeys, drawing on experience and technology accumulated across various industries as well as its partner ecosystem.

The event will open with remarks from Kolon Benit Chief Executive Kang I-gu. Executive Vice President Jang Jae-yong will then deliver a presentation titled "From AI to Value: From Companies That Adopt AI to Companies That Create Results With AI," outlining strategies and direction for linking AI to real-world operations and business outcomes.

A customer case session will feature speakers from Kolon Industries, SK AX and Seowoo Industry/Seowoo Advanced Materials, each sharing how their organizations have linked AI technology to concrete business change and results. The keynote session will include a lecture by KAIST Professor Kim Dae-sik titled "Literacy and Leadership in the Age of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)."

The afternoon program will run three tracks — Data & Analytics, AX Journey and Enterprise Service — covering topics from corporate data utilization and AI adoption and operations to core business process innovation.

"Corporate AX is a process of precisely defining business challenges and driving real change and results," Kang said. "We hope this event gives customers an opportunity to share AX execution experiences and ideas from diverse industries, and to design a successful AX journey suited to their own environment."
