The announcement was made during a signing ceremony at MWC Barcelona 2024 with the GSMA and host sponsor, KT, attended by representatives from the ICT Ministry of South Korea.

M360 APAC was first brought to the South Korean capital for the 2023 edition of the event in September last year, during which regional leaders came together to discuss topics such as 5G acceleration and digital inclusion.
Mats Granryd, Director General, GSMA said, "The rollout of 5G has been faster than any previous generation of mobile technology, reaching 1.6 billion connections by the end of 2023, and we cannot wait to return to where it all began in 2019. We are delighted to host M360 APAC once again in Seoul; it promises to be a must-attend event for anybody interested in seeing the innovations unfolding across the world’s largest mobile markets."
Kim Young Shub, CEO of KT, said, "As a ‘digital transformation partner,’ KT aims to transform the paradigm of the digital market, traditionally dominated by big tech companies, presenting various agendas to enhance the capabilities and market dominance of telecommunications operators. As last year, we will strive to successfully lead M360 APAC in Seoul and secure leadership in the digital ecosystem, including AI."
