About

Join us for the 2024 U40 Summit in Seattle, a gathering for under-40 leaders and professionals from across the country and globe. 

This year’s summit theme is “Weaving Stories, Shaping Futures.” We will celebrate the art of storytelling as a catalyst for change and connection within and beyond the Japanese and Japanese American community, bridging past, present and future. Over two immersive days, participants will engage with experts and peers, exploring stories that inspire action.

Schedule

We’re busy planning your epic experience in Seattle! The sessions include interactive workshops, dialogues with Seattle’s prominent Japanese American and Japanese leaders, and receptions to expand your U40 network.

The event will start in the morning on Friday, April 26, so we suggest arriving by Thursday evening. The last official summit event will be in the late evening on Saturday, April 27.
