Encounters with other Global Leaders
Exclusively for Members
We have an extensive global network with access to Global Leaders in many different countries and of many different backgrounds. Imagine you can connect with Royalties, corporate CEOs of fortune 500 companies or with highly accomplished entrepreneurs. We can bring these world class leaders to you and will enable you to connect with them. Our trip to Davos in January will be one part of connecting with these Global Leaders. We also arrange ad hoc round tables in Japan when Global Leaders are coming to Japan.
There are some established top executives in Japan as well and we intend to connect our Japan Global Leaders with them as well.
