Okestro Group said on the 2nd it will hold the tech conference "OPUS 2026" on the 28th at the COEX Auditorium in Samseong-dong, Seoul.

The event will examine key trends in the artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud industries and share the latest technologies and solution strategies. This year's OPUS 2026 will be held for about 2,000 people, with more than 20 major domestic and overseas corporations expected to participate. Officials from major government ministries and public institutions, as well as global IT corporations, will attend to discuss directions for innovation in cloud and infrastructure in the AI era.

This year's theme is "WE GENERATE CLOUD." Okestro Group will unveil "Okestro 4.0" at the event and said it plans to redefine the group-level AI infrastructure full-stack solution framework to present a new standard for cloud operations and AI infrastructure.

The event will open with a welcome address by Okestro CEO Kim Beom-jae and congratulatory remarks from key domestic and international figures. Next, Okestro Chair Kim Min-jun and Okestro CEO Kim Young-gwang will take the stage as the first keynote speakers to give a presentation on the theme "The age of generation, rewriting the order of cloud."

The first tech session will focus on the theme "Cloud infrastructure strategies that open the AI era." Okestro will introduce cloud infrastructure operations strategies and technology directions to respond to expanding AI workloads, centered on the server virtualization solution "CONTRABASS," the Cloud-Native operations management platform "VIOLA," and the AI inference operations platform "CONCERTO A.I."

Okestro Cloud CEO Park So-a will give the second keynote, "Cloud-Native and DR strategies in the AI era." Park will examine the national AI strategy, the need for a Cloud-Native transition, disaster recovery strategies and roadmaps, and plans to present success stories of Cloud-Native transitions by institutions such as the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (TS) and KTC through a Daegu PPP-based public-private partnership cloud service.

The second tech session that follows will be held under the theme "An execution framework that connects intention to reality." Okestro will address ways to link customers' intentions to cloud operations, service development, and data utilization through "OKESTRO CMP" and the DevOps solution "TROMBONE."

The event's final tech talk will explore "New possibilities created by AI." The session will look at changes that Generative AI may bring to corporations' decision-making, work methods, and cloud operating models—centered on the Generative AI solution "CLARINET"—and discuss the direction cloud should take in the AI era.

Sponsors for the event include more than 20 major domestic and overseas corporations such as Upstage, KT Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE), NetApp, Veeam, TmaxTibero, CIQ, Blueward, KAYTUS, and NTELS. Sponsors will showcase the latest technologies and solutions in AI infrastructure, cloud, data, security, and disaster recovery through exhibition booths and hands-on programs at the venue.

Okestro Group Chair Kim Min-jun said, "Through OPUS 2026, we hope it will be a meaningful occasion to share the AI infrastructure full-stack strategy and the new order of cloud presented by 'Okestro 4.0,' and to explore the direction of AI transformation together with customers and partners."
