THE DESTINATION

South Korea: where payments innovation sets the pace.

South Korea is one of the world's most digitally advanced economies, a blueprint for mobile payments, gaming monetization, and consumer-first fintech that the rest of the world is still catching up to. For EBANX, bringing Payments Summit here is a statement of direction: this is the frontier we're expanding into, and the merchants in this room are the ones shaping it.

Jeju Island adds a rare quality to the gathering: close to the major APAC hubs where our community is concentrated, yet removed enough to create the kind of focus that drives real engagement.

THE VENUE

JW Marriott Jeju Resort: intimacy at the edge of the Pacific.

Set within Jeju's volcanic landscape, where cliff faces meet the ocean and the island's UNESCO-protected nature creates a backdrop unlike any conference setting, JW Marriott Jeju Resort is a newly developed luxury property built for exactly this kind of gathering.

A carefully curated guest list, world-class facilities, and a setting designed for both sharp content and meaningful connection, from the main stage to oceanfront dinners under the Jeju sky.

Newly developed luxury resort on Jeju's natural coastal landscape.

Full event hosted on-property: sessions, dining, and networking in one immersive setting.

30 minutes from Jeju International Airport.
