On September 30, AmCham Austria’s talent community will mark the launch of a new cohort of EmpowerUs and celebrate the talented young professionals from across the AmCham Austria community participating in the program.

As EmpowerUs enters another exciting year of networking, mentoring, and professional growth, we will come together to celebrate the beginning of the new journey and explore one of the defining topics of our time:

How physical AI will change the workplace

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work, collaborate and make decisions. But what does this transformation mean for organisations and, more importantly, for the people within them?

Join fellow EmpowerUs participants, alumni, mentors, and AmCham members for an inspiring evening of insights, meaningful connections, and forward-looking discussion.
