Hanwha LIFEPLUS NY

Hanwha Finance has returned to New York City for its second year of LIFEPLUS NY. A premier annual event bringing together industry professionals and talented students from top universities, LIFEPLUS NY provides professional insight, career advice, and entertainment. This year, Hanwha Finance gathered a total of 21 speakers and three headline musicians and groups from South Korea with over 700 people in attendance.

During the conference portion, industry leaders and experts in finance and tech led panel discussions and keynote lectures. A new 1:1 consulting program was implemented this year where over ten companies brought in career booths, and students were able to meet with company representatives.

A new space within the venue, The Glasshouse, was revealed after the conference for dinner and networking, which was followed by an afterparty. Hanwha invited back Jaeki Cho, rising social media star and founder of Righteous Eats, to MC the evening. The afterparty was headlined by top South Korean musicians such as hip-hop icons Dynamic Duo, rap star pH-1, and fusion rock artists Seodo Band. 

Empire provided overall project management, production conceptualization, design, and execution, program development, and logistics for executives, speakers, and talent.
