The International Conference for Women in Business is an event designed to provide working women with a) knowledge and skills they need to succeed as professionals in today's business scene, b) a forum for positive exchanges among peers who share a strong determination to succeed, and c) stimulating opportunities from international perspectives, and d) an avenue of mutual support. The Committee for the International Conference for Women in Business organizes the conference each year to support a growing number of influential women in business.

The conference consists of three parts: The keynote address and feature speeches are presented in the morning followed by the hotel course lunch served while participants network at round tables. The afternoon is spent in a variety of workshops. A buffet-style reception in the evening provides a further chance to see old friends and make new connections. Simultaneous interpretation is available for the morning speeches only.

Over 1200 corporate managers, entrepreneurs, business owners and freelancers are expected to spend a day of learning and discussing ideas, networking, and ultimately developing new business opportunities. We also welcome men to join the Conference.

What is most important in making a dream come true? Many successful doers dreamed it first; they created a picture in their mind—a visual image—of their dream. In other words, to realize a dream, we need to visualize it. And to visualize that dream, we must first set our vision. The process of setting your own vision is “Vision Quest”.

I hope that the 12th International Conference for Women in Business provides each participant a meaningful opportunity to share their valuable views about the significance of setting not only the vision of our individual lives and careers, but also the vision of the ideal society that we would like to create in our future. More importantly, we’ll discover what we need to do today to realize these aspiring visions of tomorrow.

This year, Ms. Darcy Neill will serve as our keynote speaker. I first met Darcy when I was in my 20s. One of my key mentors, she continues to inspire me. I feel most honored to introduce her to you on this special occasion and hope that her insight about “the real meaning of Vision Quest” will inspire each and every one of you.

This July 15th will be a very special day of the year for all of us taking part in the Conference. I can already imagine the positive energy from so many like-minded people from across Japan and the world gathered in one place to share their dreams and passions and to move forward together.
