Tech Planet will also feature panel discussions highlighting the use of data and infrastructure in providing

keynote speakers including Jeon Yun-ho, CTO of SK Planet and Michael Stack. The panel discussion will
be chaired by Park Tae-woong , former vice president of KTH.

Moreover, its three tracks and 18 sessions will cover big data, social platform, user experience (UX), payment
