The Matching Sponsor Program supports aspiring high school and university students (Sponsees). This program began as a way to share the experiences, excitement, networking, and learnings with the victims of the March 11 earthquake in 2011, in addition to funds and supplies. Sponsors were matched with earthquake victims and paid their registration fee. Now the program is open to high school and university students nationwide. Of course, some junior high school, high school, and university students save their pocket money or crowdfund to cover the registration fee, but students who wish to attract a Sponsor can write an essay and apply to be sponsored by working adults who wish to provide them with the experience. For details, please see this page (to the 29th Matching Sponsor page). Please apply as a Sponsor or Sponsee.

The International Conference for Women in Business is a place to learn together and improve ourselves, so meeting others is a treasured experience. Please introduce yourself to others but don’t engage in conversation if the other person isn’t willing.
Please do not solicit (sell or ask for business), telephone people you’ve met, or send materials to them afterward. This is usually well understood by participants, but in the unlikely event that someone tries to solicit you or makes you feel uncomfortable, please clearly end the conversation. The ICWB is open to everyone so the Secretariat cannot guarantee the credibility of each participant and we cannot be responsible for any trouble between participants. Please use your own judgment.
In addition, those who are in the business of recruiting and mediating employees and those planning events or arranging lectures are not eligible to attend.
In addition to producing the ICWB, we introduce female executives and managers, plan lectures, and arrange training, so please contact the Secretariat if you need these services.
