2. Access to Venue
Overview
The main conference venue, Hong & Park KI Building (E4), is located on the KAIST main campus in Daejeon. Most international participants are expected to arrive via Incheon International Airport (ICN). Cheongju International Airport (CJJ) is geographically closer to Daejeon, but flight availability may be more limited.
2.1 From Incheon International Airport (ICN) to Daejeon
Option A. Airport / intercity bus to Daejeon
The most direct public-transport option from Incheon International Airport is an airport/intercity bus to Daejeon. If available, we recommend getting off at Daejeon Government Complex (정부대전청사 / Jeongbu Cheongsa), which is relatively close to KAIST. From there, take a taxi to the KAIST main campus or directly to Hong & Park KI Building (E4).
Option B. Airport railroad + KTX train via Seoul Station
Another convenient option is to travel by train:
- Take the airport railroad from Incheon International Airport to Seoul Station.
- Transfer to a KTX train from Seoul Station to Daejeon Station.
- From Daejeon Station, take a taxi to Hong & Park KI Building (E4), KAIST.
2.2 From Cheongju International Airport (CJJ) to Daejeon
Cheongju International Airport is closer to Daejeon than Incheon International Airport. From Cheongju Airport, we recommend taking an airport/intercity bus bound for Daejeon Terminal Complex or Yuseong Terminal, if available. From the terminal, take a taxi to KAIST or to Hong & Park KI Building (E4).
2.3 From Daejeon Station to KAIST / KI Building
Recommended: Taxi
The easiest way to reach the venue from Daejeon Station is by taxi. Ask the driver to go to:
Hong & Park KI Building (E4), KAIST
카이스트 KI빌딩(E4),
The ride usually takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic.
Public transport option
If you prefer public transportation, take Daejeon Metro Line 1 from Daejeon Station to Wolpyeong (KAIST) Station, then take a short taxi ride to KAIST.
2.4 From Daejeon bus terminals to KAIST / KI Building
From Daejeon Government Complex
If you arrive by airport bus from Incheon, you may get off at Daejeon Government Complex. This is a convenient stop for reaching KAIST. From there, we recommend taking a taxi directly to Hong & Park KI Building (E4), KAIST. A city bus option is also available, but a taxi is usually easier for participants with luggage.
From Daejeon Terminal Complex
If you arrive at Daejeon Terminal Complex, the easiest option is to take a taxi directly to Hong & Park KI Building (E4), KAIST. A city-bus route is possible, but it may involve transfers and is not recommended for participants carrying luggage.
2.5 From the KAIST Main Gate to the KI Building
Once you enter the KAIST Main Gate, the Hong & Park KI Building (E4) is located just inside the campus, on the right-hand side, across from the campus pond. Please follow signs for KI Building (E4) or Fusion Hall.
