September 6, 2025 - Seoul, South Korea 

After a highly successful debut last year, Exprive Career Exchange (Cx) is back for its second edition, promising to be the largest career conference for international talent in Korea. Hosted by Exprive, a leading foreign influencer community, this year’s event will welcome 1,500 participants to Sangsang Planet in Seongsu-dong, one of Seoul’s most vibrant cultural hubs.

Following the momentum of the April 2025 inaugural conference — which drew 300 attendees, major media coverage (Money Today, AJU Daily, The K-Beauty Science), and high-profile diplomatic participation — this second edition aims to break barriers for foreign talent and enhance diversity in Korea’s workforce.

The one-day event will feature 40 accomplished foreign professionals working across Korea’s top industries — from global conglomerates like Samsung to leaders in technology, cosmetics, fashion, entertainment, healthcare, F&B, and tourism. Through panels, seminars, and networking opportunities, attendees will gain practical recruiting insights, career growth strategies, and first-hand perspectives on navigating Korea’s corporate culture.
