What is the 2023 I AM LIMITLESS Conference?
The I AM LIMITLESS Conference is an annual event hosted by the Center for Career Development. This year’s I AM LIMITLESS Conference featured a total of ten events. In addition to career exploration sessions and social impact panels featuring professors and current students, the conference brought two high-profile industry professionals to campus. Dr. Polly Ng, the founder of Global Women Connect and BWS Group, led a discussion on being a social change leader while Dr. Peter Qiu, the founder of the Center for Globalization Hong Kong and a former television commentator at Phoenix Satellite Television, shared insights into future career prospects for college graduates. The conference culminated with an international talents career fair, in which students were able to interact with representatives from over 40 companies and learn about nearly 200 job opportunities. Through this conference, we hope to support NYU Shanghai students to kick start their career path, to strengthen leadership skills and make a multidimensional social impact!
