The ISAK Impact Conference is where our community comes together to celebrate the year’s most remarkable stories of leadership and changemaking. Each year, the conference brings together award winners, community members, and invited guests for an 80-minute programme featuring live keynotes, a panel discussion, and the formal presentation of annual Impact Awards.
The inaugural ISAK Impact Conference took place on 23 May 2026 on the UWC ISAK Japan campus.
