This upcoming event in Sendai is a great example of collaboration among local MICE stakeholders, as well as professionals from the business, academia, science, and government sectors. Hosted at the stunning Sendai Ryokusaikan Visitor Center venue, introduced on our LinkedIn page earlier this month, the event is organized by the Miyagi Prefectural Government and managed by the Sendai branch of Japan Convention Services (JCS). These two "experts x citizens" matching events, operating under the concept of "goose" (discover why below!), aim to bring diverse groups together. The first session concentrates on "Medical Care for Living x Building Things" (くらしの医療xモノづくり), while the second session focuses on "The Possibilities of Space x Building Things" (宇宙の可能性 x モノづくり). Further details and registration information can be found using the following link (in Japanese): https://lnkd.in/guKDNu_t Why "goose"? The inspiration behind this theme is derived from the goose, which serves as the prefectural bird of Miyagi. Geese are recognized for flying in a V-formation, symbolizing the aspiration of startup companies to sequentially take flight and triumph in new challenges. The V-shaped flight of the geese signifies cooperation and collaboration, underscoring the partnership between startups and the community for mutual growth and success. #events #business #Sendai #MICE #meetingplanners #meetingprof #meetingsandevents #eventprofs #Japan #SendaiConventionBureau #goose #miyagi #medical #space
