Our gatherings


We have several types of gatherings:

Our Salons help members understand politics and economics, in Japan and globally.

Our Custom Member Lunches are set up for members who request to meet one particular person to discuss one particular topic.

Our CEO Summits combine peer mentoring and best practice sharing for specific, practical topics, such as improving B2B sales in Japan, or understanding digitalization. It’s the right and privilege of a DN member to request any of the above meeting types.

We have a have shareable calendar you can access on request, to get a sense of what we do.

Please email [email protected] or [email protected] for access.
