RI Asia Japan 2019 | Responsible Investor | 9 April 2019 | Tokyo Midtown Hall, Midtown East, B1 9 Chome-7 Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo 107-0052, Japan

The RI Asia Japan 2019 conference will focus on climate and SDGs. These two key themes will drive the narrative for regulators, companies and investors until 2030 and beyond. RI Asia Japan 2019 provides a platform to learn, share and debate on the key issues that are set to define every aspect of the investment landscape in the next decade.

Additionally, in 2019, the RI Asia Japan conference is being restructured to deliver more advanced content, taking the discussion to the next level. After 5 successful years hosted by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, we are moving to a new home at Tokyo Midtown Roppongi. This means that in addition to the regular panels, interviews and keynotes, we can produce three specialist breakout streams offering 21 in-depth sessions presented by high-level experts. The Tokyo Midtown facility also allows us to substantially increase the audience capacity, enabling greater networking from a wider cross-section of industry leaders across the investment chain.
