Overview
USJC’s Annual Conference brings together leaders from government, business, academia, and the nonprofit sector to explore the evolving U.S.-Japan global partnership.

Highlighting the deep cultural ties and community connections that link Hawai’i with both the United States and Japan, the conference will address key topics such as sustainable energy, investment opportunities, geopolitical security, and the legacy of thriving family-owned businesses.
