The Korea Game Law and Policy Society is set to host its 2026 workshop from 19 June to 20 June at the Seoul National University Siheung Campus Training Center.

The goal here is simple: to sharpen research capabilities in game law and policy while fostering networking among members to streamline the society's 2026 agenda. Roughly 20 attendees, including society members, working group representatives, and industry insiders, are expected to show up.

Things kick off at 8:00 AM on 19 June with some physical activities—because nothing says policy development like a bit of morning cardio—before the serious policy cooperation workshop starts at 3:00 PM. Expect deep dives into industry hot topics and future challenges. A dinner networking session follows at 5:00 PM, with the whole affair wrapping up after breakfast on the 20th.

Key highlights include a special lecture by Kwon Hyuk-woo, Secretary General of the Game Rating and Administration Committee, who will discuss the latest trends and future directions for game rating policies. Additionally, Attorney Kim Geun-ho from Shin & Kim LLC will take the stage to talk about the 'Conditions for Collaboration between the Defense Industry and the Game Industry.' He’ll be exploring the intriguing, if not complex, challenges that arise when gaming tech and content cross paths with the defense sector.

Society President Yoo Byung-jun, a professor at Seoul National University, noted, "In this rapidly shifting game industry landscape, the role of law and policy has never been more critical." He added, "This workshop serves as a platform to collectively ponder new challenges and seek out practical paths for policy improvement."

He went on to stress, "For the sustainable growth of the game industry, we need a delicate balance between regulation and innovation, policy design that reflects industrial reality, and tight-knit cooperation between academia, industry, and government. I look forward to this workshop becoming a cornerstone for that collaboration."
