Samsung Display is expanding its recruiting programs in the United States as it steps up efforts to secure global talent. 

The company said Tuesday it will broaden its U.S. recruiting footprint beyond the West Coast to locations across the country, with senior executives meeting students directly to present the company’s vision.

Samsung Display on Monday (local time) held a recruiting program called the “Tech Forum” at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, inviting about 50 doctoral-level candidates to share the company’s vision and promote its organizational culture.

The event was tied to “Display Week,” the world’s largest display industry gathering hosted by the Society for Information Display, which has been underway in Los Angeles since May 3. Samsung Display invited top doctoral candidates from universities near Los Angeles. 

Lee Ju-hyeong, executive vice president and head of the company’s small- and medium-sized display business, delivered a keynote titled “AI meets OLED: Shaping the Next Interface,” urging participants to join its push for next-generation technology innovation. 

Lee Ho-jung, executive vice president and head of product planning for the same business unit, spoke in a technical session, outlining key innovation achievements and sharing future technology and product strategies aligned with the AI era.

Unlike traditional briefing-style sessions, the Tech Forum was run as a networking event, with executives and engineers dining with students and talking informally. Students also received tailored consultations on how their specialties could fit specific departments and roles at Samsung Display.

Following the Tech Forum, Samsung Display will begin a series of in-person recruiting meetings on Wednesday in San Francisco and San Jose, then visit major hubs across the U.S. in June, including Chicago, Boston and Atlanta. The company plans to invite dozens of doctoral-level candidates in each region.

“In a rapidly changing display market aligned with the AI era, the key to leading innovation ultimately lies with people,” Lee Ju-hyeong said. “We hope outstanding talent active on the global stage will help Samsung Display lead a new future.”

Samsung Display also holds a tech forum in Japan each October led by senior executives as part of its broader global recruiting efforts. From 2022 through last year, hundreds of top candidates took part in the company’s recruiting events in North America, Japan and elsewhere.
