SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM, “SKT”) announced today that it will participate in CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas from January 9 to 12, 2024, to showcase SK Group’s efforts towards achieving net zero as well as AI technologies of SK ICT affiliates.

SKT will operate a joint exhibition booth with SK Inc., SK Innovation, SK hynix, SK E&S, SK Ecoplant and SKC under the theme of “Inspire Happiness” in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. “SK ICT Family Demo Room” will also be operated to introduce diverse AI technologies of SKT and SK hynix.
