Presentations will specifically deal with using the internet and website to maintain relationships with organisations in Japan. New professional, cultural and artistic networks will be presented along with the way in which they have been developed and maintained. Everyone involved in Australia-Japan networking will gain from this focus.
This will also be an opportunity for Japan-Australia Societies to visit and meet and network with their counterparts in Australia. Together this will be a celebration of our common purpose in promoting friendship and exchange between out two countries.
