A two-day Korean American leadership conference will open inside the White House starting Oct. 23, according to the Council of Korean Americans.

Participants will include notable Koreans in politics, finance, social services and culture.

Themed “Korean leadership within a changing world,” the conference has specially invited World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, former Legal Adviser of the Department of State and Yale Law School professor, Bright Future Foundation President Hong Myung-ki, Forever 21 President Chang Do-won and ABC Nightline anchor Juju Chang.

CKA was founded in 2010 as a non-profit organization to gather Korean American voices as one.
