The eagerly awaited day had finally come. Many participants queued for almost two hours before the doors opened in hopes of getting front-row seats. They seized the first chance of the day to make new friends while they waited. The doors opened 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled 9 a.m. and reception proceeded smoothly with the face authentication system implemented for the first time this year.
As the venue filled, the participants exchanged business cards and introduced themselves and some posted photos on their social media accounts. Amidst those in suits and dresses, there were also junior high and high school students in school uniforms and people wearing kimonos, hijabs, and native costumes. A large group of reporters waited near the back of the venue for the kickoff. After the 800 participants?from age 14 to 80s, 90% female, 10% male?were seated, the 23rd International Conference for Women in Business opened at 10 a.m.

Today's session, facilitated by Minori Takao, NHK World News Anchor, was insightful with its dynamic conversation on Japan's strengths and weaknesses, and how Japan should proceed into the high-speed future. Ms. Balbo, a wine entrepreneur and the chair of W20 Argentina, took the floor first to say what makes Japan strong. She referenced both Japan's strengths and weaknesses, and discussed what opportunities, such as the W20, are available to facilitate an environment in which people can begin discussions that will lead to progress. She shared some concerning statistics around women's domestic violence and sexual harassment in Argentina, pressing the dire need for immediate change.
