Eurasia Group GZERO Summit Japan 2019
Empire Japan had the chance to work again with Eurasia Group to produce the most elite geopolitical event in Japan. In a continuation of last year's event, a wide range of current global topics were discussed with special guests including Toshimitsu Motegi, Foreign Minister of Japan, Hiroshi Kajiyama, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yasutoshi Nishimura, Minister in charge of Economic Revitalization, Minister in charge of Social Security Reform and Minister in charge of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Yuriko Koike, Governor of Tokyo, had the chance to join as a speaker in a fireside chat to discuss Tokyo’s current status leading into the Olympics next year.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
