Weather
Seoul in November is late autumn: daytime highs typically 8-14 C and overnight lows around 0-5 C, with colder snaps late in the month and occasional sub-zero nights. Rain is modest but possible, and humidity is low. Conference venues and hotels are heated, so layered business wear with a warm coat works best. Treat these as climatological norms and check a forecast closer to travel.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Seoul has extensive 4G and 5G mobile coverage and near-universal Wi-Fi in hotels, conference venues and cafes. Travellers can use home-country roaming, buy a Korean prepaid SIM or eSIM at Incheon International Airport arrival counters, or rent a portable Wi-Fi router. KakaoTalk is the default messaging app for local contacts, and business cards or Kakao IDs usually replace email for follow-up. Power sockets are Type C and F at 220 V, so European plugs generally fit and UK or US visitors need an adapter.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business etiquette
Korean business culture values punctuality, formal introductions and business cards exchanged with both hands while briefly reviewing the card. Sessions and meetings start on schedule, and senior attendees are usually introduced first.
Language
Conference sessions at ANREV Korea are conducted in English, with Korean institutional investors and global fund managers attending together. English signage is common in central Seoul hotels and subway stations, but taxi drivers may prefer a Korean address or map pin.
Money and payments
The local currency is the South Korean won (KRW). Cards are widely accepted in Seoul hotels, restaurants and taxis, but keep some cash for small purchases and market stalls. Tipping is not customary in Korea.
Dress and dining
Business formal is the norm for conference sessions. Seoul business dining often involves shared dishes and soju or beer; waiting for the most senior person to start eating and pouring drinks for others are appreciated gestures.

Flights
Destination: ICN
Book flights into Incheon International Airport (ICN) to arrive by 18 November 2026 for the 19-20 November conference, allowing a recovery day after long-haul travel. Direct services connect ICN with Dubai, London, Singapore and Tokyo among many other hubs, with nonstop flight times of roughly 8.5 hours from Dubai, 12.5 hours from London, 6.5 hours from Singapore and 3 hours from Tokyo. November fares are typically moderate but rise closer to the date; booking one to four months ahead usually gives the best balance of price and schedule. Compare fares on Google Flights using the ICN airport code and confirm baggage and change rules before purchase.
Visa
Many business travellers can enter South Korea visa-free for stays of 90 days or less; from 1 January 2027 a K-ETA will be required before travel for those previously covered by the waiver. Delegates from visa-required countries should apply through a Korean embassy or consulate.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Business visa applicants may request multiple-entry visas and can apply up to 89 days before the intended travel date; confirm current K-ETA rules before booking flights for the November 2026 conference.
OfficialTransport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Seoul (ICN): Primary international gateway serving Seoul.. Allow road or rail time to Four Seasons Hotel; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

Ride-hail: Kakao T is the dominant ride-hailing app in Seoul and can be used by international visitors with a foreign phone number, though registration and payment options vary. Taxis are also easy to hail on the street in Jongno and Myeongdong, and hotel concierges can call a car. Fares are metered, late-night surcharges apply after midnight, and international card payment in taxis is common but not universal, so keep some cash as backup.
Public transit: Seoul's subway and city bus network connects Incheon International Airport, Gimpo International Airport and the main hotel districts with the central business area around Four Seasons Hotel Seoul. Lines 1, 3 and 5 serve the Jongno district, with Jonggak, Gwanghwamun and Seoul Station as the closest major stations. Use a T-money transit card for subway and bus fares, available at convenience stores and airport counters, and tap in and out at the gates. AREX airport railroad trains run from ICN to Seoul Station, and late-night bus routes cover the city after the subway closes.
Parking: Four Seasons Hotel Seoul offers on-site parking for hotel guests and event delegates, usually with valet service. Central Seoul hotel car parks charge hourly rates with a daily cap, and spaces are limited during business events. Confirm the delegate parking rate and entrance with the hotel or organiser before driving, and note that Jongno traffic is heavy in the morning and evening peaks so public transport is usually quicker.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: November 2026
Temperature: Daytime highs typically 8-14 C and overnight lows around 0-5 C during November in Seoul, with colder snaps late in the month
Seasonality: Late autumn in Seoul is generally dry and crisp, with low humidity and clear skies between occasional rain showers. Temperatures fall steadily through the month, and nights near or below freezing become more common in the final week.
Packing: Pack warm layers for cool mornings and evenings, a light or medium coat for late-November cold, and business attire for conference sessions. Bring comfortable shoes for city walks, a compact umbrella for occasional rain, and moisturiser for the dry autumn air. Indoor venues are heated, so a removable mid-layer is more practical than a single heavy sweater.
