OVAL 2009: Our Vision for Asian Leadership Conference In Tokyo
Our Vision for Asian Leadership is an exchange among students where each group presents a business concept in English with attendees from Korea, China and Japan.
After a night of coding I decided to grab some dinner at 2am at my local 'kare' restaurant and got into a conversation with some cool locals. They invited me to come to a business conference for students.
OVAL is the abbreviation of 'Our Vision for Asian Leadership' and is a place for an active international exchange among university students from 3 leading Asian countries.
The 2009 edition was organized at the Yoyogi National Olympic Memorial Center.
The future leaders of Asia were able to present business concepts to the elite CEO's of Asia.
It was all presented in English while the only countries attending were Japan, Korea & China. It was definitely an interesting experience.
I made a few notes during the summit which are listed below. Although I am not sure if the business plans presented were restricted or copyrighted in any way. The first presented concept won the conference (Like a family).
I even had the opportunity to sit behind the CEO of General Electric Japan and next to the President of Kaplan Japan.
