The Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau announced that, thanks to collaboration with domestic bidding organizations, six international conferences will be held in Tokyo from 2027 to 2029.

The TMG and the Bureau are promoting the hosting of MICE events, such as international conferences, which serve as opportunities to showcase Tokyo’s appeal both at home and abroad and are expected to generate significant economic ramifications.

The six international conferences span the fields of medicine, technology, and engineering, and will be held sequentially from 2027 through 2029.

They are as follows:

In hosting international conferences in Tokyo, the TMG and the Bureau also provide support, including financial assistance for venue rental and other event expenses, as well as offering sightseeing tours in Tokyo and Japanese cultural experience programs for participants.
