Major themes explored over the course of the two-day conference included climate and sustainability; diversity and equity; and technology and innovation. Leaders representing business, government, nonprofit and education sectors shared valuable insights on addressing regional, national, and global issues. They focused on what the United States and Japan can learn from each other and how they can work together to effect global impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-493x328.jpg 493w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-915x610.jpg 915w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference-287x191.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.usjapancouncil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ELP_conference.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another core pillar of the conference was the importance of investing in next generation leadership.
