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.

The awareness that diversity is a significant factor for companies and society to maintain their sustainable development has growth stronger than ever. In Japan, companies, educational bodies, non-profit organizations, health and medical institutions are starting to offer equal opportunities to people regardless of their race, nationality, gender, and age.

This year working theme is “Diversity” from various angles, such as the importance of diversity in company’s management system and the importance of a diverse way of thinking for personal development.

This July 19th will be a very special day of the year for all of us taking part in the Conference and 1200 seats will be prepared for the day. 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.

The Conference is open for anyone with spirit and high motivation to move forward and improve her/his skills in the professional career and personal life.

Participants come from various background; office workers, corporate managers, entrepreneurs, freelancers, academics and professors, lawyers, SOHO workers, physicians, engineers, etc. The age ranging is from late teens to seventies and the majority of participants are in their 30’s and 40’s.

Students, men, and those who are currently unemployed are also sincerely welcome to attend the Conference.
