About the Conference in general
Q
Can I participate in only Part 1 (the online part) of the ICWB?
A
Yes, you may participate only in Part 1. Please select “Participating in Part 1 only” when you register. However, we encourage you to attend both Part 1 online and Part 2 at the venue to get the full experience.
Q
Can I attend only Part 2 of the ICWB, which will be held at the Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba?
A
No. Part 2 is only available to participants who attend Part 1. The program is designed to allow participants to experience the theme both online and at the venue, so please attend Part 2 after attending Part 1.
Q
Can I participate from overseas?
A
Of course! First of all, Part 1 will be held online, so you can participate from anywhere in the world. Please not that for overseas participants, the registration fee can only be paid by credit card. In addition, we do not send gift boxes or other items to overseas participants. For this reason, discounted registration fees are offered to overseas participants regardless of when you register.
Although Part 2 will be held at the Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba, we would love to have you come to Tokyo to join us!
Q
Will interpretation be available?
A
Yes, simultaneous Japanese-English interpretation will be provided for both online and in the live venue sessions. However, Roundtable sand networking sessions will be divided into Japanese-only and English-only programs to enjoy live discussions, so interpreters will not be available. Please check the program to select the Roundtables you will attend as they will be interactive, including Q&A sessions from the participants.
Q
Is it possible to watch the ICWB afterwards?
A
We do not offer archives for viewing, as we emphasize connecting with participants live. Please join us live.
Q
Is it possible to join or leave while the ICWB is in session?
A
You are free to join or leave. However, the ICWB weaves together the various events of the day to tell one story. The satisfaction rate of participants throughout the day has been over 98% for the past 27 years so we encourage you to attend the entire day to reap the full benefits.
Q
What is a Conference gift box?
A
the Conference box includes gifts from our partners who have sponsored this the ICWB, the program for the day, and other items. The gift box will be mailed to you no later than the day before Part 1 of the conference. Please make sure to enter an address where you can receive the gift box when you register. Please note that this gift box is not available for participants who reside outside of Japan.
