AI Empowered: Transforming Careers Through Technology
About IMPACTs
Designed for scientists and engineers in industry, IMPACTs (Industry Meetup Program for Advancing Careers and Technical Skills) is a unique conference hosted by the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA). Through interactive workshops, networking sessions, and mentorship opportunities, IMPACTs empowers participants to enhance their professional skill sets, cultivate leadership qualities, and become more effective advocates for their own career growth.

IMPACTs is hosted by KSEA, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization established in 1971 that represents Korean-American scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs across the United States.
