Established in 1948 by representatives of 40 American firms, the ACCJ, a fully independent chamber of commerce, has grown into one of the most influential business organizations in Japan, with approximately 3,000 members representing over 40 countries and 600 companies. More than 60 Chamber committees, subcommittees, task forces, and advisory councils cover such diverse areas as financial services, corporate social responsibility, marketing, independent business, healthcare services, e-business, transportation and logistics, legal services, the travel industry, and human resource management. Each committee establishes goals at the beginning of the year and meets regularly to develop ideas, discuss issues, and exchange information on topics relevant to its goals and focus. ACCJ committees combined hold over 500 programs annually, and these events are exclusively attended by ACCJ members and their accompanied guests. Whether social, educational, cultural or charitable, every ACCJ event represents the inspiration and personal investment of our volunteer members. The backbone of the annual agenda is comprised of hundreds of engagements with leading experts and shapers of policy and business trends in Japan. Speakers are drawn from the ranks of global business leaders, top U.S. and Japanese government officials, industry experts, scholars and pop culture icons.
