Events - Seminar

One year has passed since the earthquake and tsunami devastated the Tohoku area. Relief efforts quickly started and peaked during the Golden Week holiday. Since then, volunteerism has fallen steadily while much difficult recovery remains to be done. If you have already volunteered in Tohoku, would you do it again? If you haven't gone up yet, how should you get involved? Is there anything you can do from Tokyo?

You will want to take advantage of this major opportunity to hear from and network with key players from America, Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. The summit will draw some 300 delegates from over 20 countries, including senior representatives of American, Japanese and regional business and government, to the Prince Park Tower Hotel on March 1-2. This must-attend summit will showcase two days of programs exploring critical issues affecting American business in the region.

Master of Ceremonies: Kenichi Osugi, Professor at Chuo Law School
Speaker:   Professor Wataru Tanaka of Tokyo University (a member of the MOJ Company Law Subcommittee)
Panelists:  Akihiro Watanabe, Representative Director of GCA Savvian
Nicholas Benes, Representative Director of the Board Director Training Institute of Japan          

Attendance is free, but this is also an optional fund-raising event for "the willing".

The events of March 11 have devastated the Tohoku Region, but the people are determined to reconstruct and revitalize their communities. Can foreign affiliated firms play a significant role in the new Japan that will evolve through, for example, the establishment of special economic zones and other measures? Potential investors would like to know what the blueprint for reconstruction will look like and when it will be fully implemented. What sorts of new opportunities will emerge?
