About the Conference

Lead better.
Think bigger.
Experience Tokyo.

The Tokyo Leadership Summit is designed for people who currently lead or manage others as part of their work.

That includes first-time supervisors and team leaders through to experienced managers, business owners and senior leaders.

Step away from your usual environment for practical leadership development, fresh ideas and honest conversations with people facing similar leadership challenges.

Across four days, you’ll build practical leadership skills, exchange ideas with people facing similar challenges and complete flexible online learning at your own pace. The summit opens with a networking dinner and drinks on Day 1, then runs three morning sessions from 9:00 am to 11:00 am at the Akasaka Intercity Conference Center — leaving the rest of each day free to explore Tokyo, meet colleagues or work remotely.
