Message From The President

The Keizai Society held its May Forum at the offices of Fenwick & West in Mountain View. The theme of the Forum was “High Speed Rail and the Future of Transportation in America.” The panel of experts included, Katsuhiko Ichikawa, Yoriko Kishimoto, Masayuki Tanemura, and Louis Thompson.
A recording of the panel, as well as PDFs of presenter’s slides, are available under the events tab on the Keizai.org website.

The Keizai Society’s July Panel will be on July 28th at Fenwick & West in Mountain View. The topic will be Social Network Services (SNS). SNS such as Facebook and LinkedIn are changing the way people communicate not only on a personal level, but also in business. It is crucial for us to understand how to take advantage of these technologies in order to catch the next wave. Guy Kawasaki will be speaking on how you can use SNS to improve your company’s visibility in the digital age.

As we pass into the second half of the year, and temperatures continue to climb, it has come time for the Keizai Society’s annual Summer Networking event. The event will be held on Saturday, August 28. Please mark your calendars and watch keizai.org for more details as more details are finalized.

Sincerely,
Chimmy Shioya and Mark Kato
Co-Presidents
