How to Conduct a Business Meeting in JapanIn Feburary 2016 23,

In Feburary 2016 23,
When you meet your counterparts, bow. The Japanese do not shake hands, other than when Westerners would give each other a hug. They might make an exception for business meetings. Wait for the Japanese businessman to offer his hand. Introduce your colleagues by title and function as well as name.
Sit at the meeting table opposite from your hosts. Seat your delegation in reasonable order of rank. If you're the head of the delegation, take the best seat. In Japan, that is the one farthest from the door. If you are using an interpreter, make sure he or she (usually she) sits next to you.
Exchange business cards with all the other participants in the meeting. If you are head of the delegation, you will be expected to start. Do it like this: Face the person with whom you are exchanging cards. Hold your card with both hands. If you have Japanese cards, have the Japanese side up. Bow. Introduce yourself--say your name and your company. Thank the person for meeting with you. Hand over your business card. Listen carefully to the introduction by the person whose business card you are receiving. Take the card with both hands and look at it. Move on to the next person. Don't write on the cards and don't put them in your pocket, but keep them on the table in front of you.
Thank your hosts for agreeing to meet with you. Hand out your presentation material. Japanese businessmen usually appreciate if you send the material in advance, if possible.
Speak slowly and clearly (but do not exaggerate) in your presentation. By handing out material in advance, the Japanese can follow the presentation as you speak.
If you are using an interpreter, make make pauses to enable complete translation.
Tell your hosts that you can take questions during the presentation, if that is the case.
Don't be surprised if the Japanese do not say anything. They may not want to embarrass you with questions, or they might wait for their superior to ask questions first.

How to Plan a Networking EventIn Feburary 2016 08,

In Feburary 2016 08,
Begin planning eight weeks ahead of an event by creating a short list of dates and sites. Check calendars to avoid conflicts with related events, such as meetings or conferences that could draw your potential audience elsewhere. Evaluate venues for logistical issues such as easy access to parking, capacity and security to minimize or eliminate issues that make it hard for people to attend.
Delegate Responsibilities
Create a committee to share the workload, especially for larger events. Seek out volunteers for the key positions of chairman, vice chairman, secretary and program director. Once you fill those slots, schedule a meeting to discuss your expectations. Iron out issues such as hiring guest speakers, and assign committee members to handle specific tasks, such as budgeting and publicity.
Determine Your Format
Choose activities that encourage guests to mingle freely and share details about themselves or their professional activities. For example, ask that participants chat with three people they haven't met before or who work in a similar field, according to 'Entrepreneur' magazine. Alternatively, invite attendees to bring information about their products and services, then set aside a table to display these items. Also, appoint volunteers who can greet people as they arrive and help them fill out name tags.
Review the Site
Tour the venue weeks before the event. Meet the manager to ensure that he can commit the space to your group. If you're renting the site, discuss any terms that might affect attendance, such as whether you can post signs on-site to direct attendees to the right place. Also, ask how the manager will ease issues that work against easy mingling, such as large numbers of tables and chairs.
Set a Marketing Strategy
Develop a list of people to send emails, brochures or postcards about your event. If you target a specific group, check databases for members living within driving distance. Focus on reaching your most likely attendees first by emailing them a month in advance. Then send an email reminder a week before the event. Keep extra postcards and print materials for passing out among your own contacts, who can help get the word out.
