The programme will take place in Tokyo from 4 July to 7 July. This year’s theme is ‘Strategy and Innovative Value for Integrated Resort in Japan with Minimum Social Disruption’. All are welcome.

Glenn James McCartney, associate dean (curriculum & teaching) of UM’s Faculty of Business Administration (FBA); Ricardo Siu, an associate professor in the faculty; and Robin Chark, interim head of the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management of the FBA, will be the keynote speakers.
