Dear SSJ Forum,


We are pleased to invite you to a welcome reception at the new TUJ Campus in Sangen-jaya. ICAS has grown tremendously since its establishment in 2004, and we are thankful to all of you who have been part of our journey thus far. After 15 great years in Minami-Azabu, we are thrilled for our next chapter here in Sangen-jaya.
To mark the occasion, we will be joined by Jesper Koll, one of Tokyo's best known economic commentators and longtime friend of ICAS. Mr. Koll will speak to "Lessons from Japan for Global Leaders," followed by audience Q&A. Light refreshments and beverages will be served.


Join us for this special celebration!
