KB Financial Group Chairman Euh Yoon-dae will represent South Korea at the 2012 Microsoft CEO Summit to be held May 15-17 in Seattle, U.S.

More than 100 leading CEOs will participate in the 16th global summit to discuss international management trends and economy-related issues. It is the second time Euh has been invited to participate in the event.

This year’s participants include the host, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, genius investor Warren Buffett, former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, GE chairman and CEO Jeffrey R. Immelt, Cisco chairman and CEO John Chambers and Walmart CEO Mike Duke.

An official dinner will take place at Bill Gates’ mansion near Washington Lake on the second day.

“We expect that the event will introduce KB Financial Group to the world and help build an international network to take-off as a global financial group,” said an official at KB Financial Group.
