Hello everyone!
The Asia Business Forum is hosting another one of their events on May 22nd. ABF is a newer group on the scene but I have attended their past two events and they draw a large and eclectic group of professionals interested in Japan, China, Korea, and elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific. Their discussions are notable for having many experienced professionals in the field as panel speakers and of course the networking before and after is dynamic.
With this in mind, we invite you to check ABF out for its upcoming event focusing on Mergers & Acquisitions by Asia-Pacific companies, in the Pacific Northwest & Beyond. For more details, check out their meetup page here:

Do you want to explore the possible answers to this question? If so, there is a great program tomorrow evening at the University of Washington!
Below is a synopsis. For more details and registration, go here:
http://jsis.washington.edu/events/ and it is the event listed at 7 PM.
"Baseball and sumo were the center sports of 20th-century Japan, and they have been deeply embedded in the modern histories of nationalism, ethnicity, schooling, corporate organization, regional rivalries, and the media. Japan's recent embrace of the global game of soccer is not only reshaping the world of sports in Japan, but it has ramifications throughout the society and for Japan's place in East Asia and the world. This talk explores what it would mean if soccer continues to grow in Japan.
Kelly is Professor of Anthropology and Sumitomo Professor of Japanese Studies at Yale University. His recent research has focused on sport and body culture in Japan. He conducted field research for a number of years on the history and present patterns of professional baseball in the Kansai region and has published a number of articles and a forthcoming monograph on this work. He has also edited three volumes based on Yale University conferences that drew scholars from Japan, the US, and Europe: Fanning the Flames (2004), This Sporting Life (2007), and The Olympics in East Asia (2011)"
Tay Yoshitani is the Port of Seattle CEO and tomorrow evening he will be speaking at the Nagomi Tea House, the location of our Sustainable Sushi event last year! Registration is free, but you have to pre-register! A great option if you have some time tomorrow evening and want to get some networking in.

Have you heard of the Asia Business Forum? They exploded onto the Asia-America relations scene earlier this year with a well-attended series of speakers in Seattle.
Now, their second event brings the dialogue to the Eastside on March 28th. JYPG members who attend our business-focused talks will be particularly interested in this event, but if it is anything like the first one there will be a healthy amount of networking as well:
More information below and at their meetup page:

Have you heard of the Japan Business Network? They started up last year but already offer monthly opportunities for networking with active professionals who are proficient in Japanese. I attended their event in January in Lynnwood and had a great time and I think their programming may appeal to our JYPG members.
Their meetup group is at www.meetup.com/JBNSeattle/ and their next event is February 7th in Bellevue at Cascades Grille at Embassy Suites (3225 158th Avenue SE).
Hope a few of the JYPG crowd can make it out!
