More and more people are using social networking to further their business.
How can professionals use business networking tools to stay in touch with
contacts abroad and further their careers, and how can businesses use these
tools to foster their business in an international context? How does the
concept of leveraging existing contacts differ from networking? Finally, how
do business networks fit into Japanese business culture, and what can be
expected in the future?  Join us for this evening of a stimulating
perspective on the timely topic of social networking, with plenty of time
for Q&A.  The 2009 theme of Keizai Society is "Revitalization - Finding the
real economy" and we want to influence economic recovery from Silicon
Valley.  New ideas were generated in tough times in the past, and some of
you may be considering to start new businesses or change the career paths.
Please bring many business cards in order to exchange with attendees and
panelists, since it is important to network and help each other in these
tough times.   And please forward this message to your friends and
colleagues to expand the power of Silicon Valley.
