Hanwha Finance's Global Mentorship Camp

San Francisco, CA

July 2025

For the second year, Hanwha—South Korea’s seventh-largest business conglomerate and a Fortune Global 500 company—partnered with Empire to produce Hanwha Finance’s annual Global Mentorship Camp, a four-day conference and retreat that takes place in over 10 locations across San Francisco and Napa Valley. The attendees consist of 30 selected mentors and mentees, who respectively, are experts and aspirants in alternative investments. 

The program featured keynotes, fireside chats, and shared meals designed to spark meaningful connections. The main conference, held at Hanwha’s new AI Center in San Francisco, hosted eight industry leaders who shared candid insights from their careers in an intimate and interactive setting.

Beyond the conference, curated activities—from sailing on the Bay to a private whiskey tasting—created relaxed opportunities for connection. In Napa Valley, attendees took part in panel discussions and workshops before enjoying golfing, wine tasting, and a thrilling supercar drive through the vineyards. The experience concluded with an exclusive dinner at Seven Stones Winery, where guests celebrated new connections.

Our team oversaw every detail, blending professional programming with memorable experiences to create an inspiring environment for growth, connection, and mentorship.
