It had four main themes: Sports, Economy, DMZ Peace Zone, and UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). The forum focused on specific action plans for peace, such as the new economic development plan for the Korean Peninsula and the DMZ Peace Zone, particularly because inter-Korean peace and trust are closely connected with regional peace and stability.
The forum was attended by 4,000 Korean and international figures including national leaders, IOC members, and internationally renowned peace experts. Among major speakers were 8th UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former Norwegian Prime Minister and former Director-General of the World Health Organization Gro Harlem Brundtland, IOC Member Gunilla Lindberg, and an investment expert and author Jim Rogers.
