As written, it's redundant: ...where it is not absolutely necessary that she be there. or ...which it is not absolutely necessary that she attend.

The sentence doesn't work properly. I suggest:

Ms. Kim is planning to attend the regional seminar, though it is not absolutely necessary for her to be there.

"though it is not absolutely necessary that she be there" is not wrong, but it seems a bit stiff to me. Opinions may vary.

Yes, a bit stiff - like me, sometimes.
