Will interpreters be provided?

Japanese-English interpretation will be provided for all of the morning speeches and the talk show. No interpreters will be provided in the afternoon for the Iinteractive Discussions or the networking reception, although several Iinteractive Discussions will be conducted in English.

I already indicated two Interactive Discussions during registration, but can I select different ones a later time or on the day of the Conference?

Yes. We ask to indicate the two Interactive Discussions you plan to attend so we can determine the size of rooms that are needed. You are free to change your mind, even on the day of the Conference.

What will the Interactive Discussions be like?

The Interactive Discussions are panel discussions in which all attendees are encouraged to participate (although some discussions are more like workshops). Each discussion is based on a single theme and most are attended by one facilitator and 2-4 speakers. Depending on the theme, some are carried out as lectures, while others are conducted as discussions. Regardless of the format, all attendees are encouraged to express their views and ask questions freely.

When is the registration deadline?

Although there is no set deadline, registration will end once the maximum number of participants has been reached, so we encourage you to register and pay as soon as possible.

I want to attend, but I won't know whether I can until the last minute. If I register now and become unable to attend, can I receive a refund?

Once you register, you will have one week to send the payment via bank transfer. You may cancel at any time before sending the payment but we are unable to offer a refund after the payment has been received. From July 28 to the day of the Conference, the registration fee is JPY 40,000. Registration is complete once payment of fees has been confirmed. If the maximum number of participants has been reached before payment has been confirmed, your registration will be canceled.

Can I pay my friend's fee with my own when I transfer the payment?

Yes. However, you must indicate the registration number and name of both participants in the name section on the bank transfer slip so that we can confirm the payment.

Can I use ewoman points?

ewoman Peers who have accumulated points may use up to 20,000 points (JPY 20,000) to pay registration fees. Please indicate the number of points you wish to use on the registration form. You will receive cash back on the day of the Conference for the number of points spent.

Can I have an invoice made out to my company?
