Do not use the full date range as a daily schedule
The summit is a series of dated programs, not a daily event. Check the official calendar for the session you want.
Wait for confirmation
Some meditation sessions use advance registration and admit only visitors who receive a confirmation message.
Use the November venue
The November 4 conference and closing ceremony are at the National Assembly Members’ Office Building, not Bongeunsa Temple.
