The Japan MICE Ambassador programme was established in 2013 with the aim of raising Japan's profile as a destination for meetings and events. Over the five years of this programme, 55 well-respected ambassadors have been selected to represent Japan. Japan MICE Ambassadors are academics and business professionals offering expertise in their respective fields. They act as the face of the nation, contributing to publicity efforts and helping to attract more international conferences to Japan.
Since 2013, the Japan MICE Ambassadors have used their connections and passion to help bring many successful conferences to Japan, including URSI GASS 2023, ICPH 2019, and WFITN 2021.
