About the Corporate Program

Japan Society’s Corporate Program hosts public and invitation-only programs for the international business and policy community about the people and issues that define U.S.-Japan relations in a regional and global context. The Corporate Program offers unparalleled access to international business and policy leaders and in-depth networking opportunities for the senior executives, policymakers, academics, journalists and other opinion leaders comprising the Program member audience. Each year, more than 2,500 executives participate in conferences, lectures, symposia and receptions recognized as invaluable for helping Americans, Japanese and others from Asia and around the world better grasp the financial, business and policy challenges that affect Japan and the U.S.
