Join us for Boardroom Tokyo

22nd-24th March, 2023

Welcome to the event page for the in-person component of Boardroom Tokyo.

Here, you will find everything you need to know as you plan your trip - and we'll be updating it so be sure to check back in.

Who

This in-person event is for Founders and Business Partners (no spouses, family or employees).

Employees are welcome to tune in to www.boardroomzoom.com for the Intensive component of the event.

Where

The Intensive will be live streamed from, and we will be staying at:

The Strings by Intercontinental Tokyo
Shinagawa East One Tower, 2-16-1 Konan, Minato-ku, Tokyo

We've intentionally chosen this hotel due to it's central location, with all of the major transportation hubs close-by. If you plan to extend your trip you (and your family) can travel to virtually anywhere in Japan in a matter of hours on the high speed train network.

After the Intensive each morning, we will be moving away from the hotel as we explore and conduct activities around various parts of Tokyo.

Whilst you may choose to stay at any hotel you wish, we do recommend choosing either The Strings, or staying close by.

How To Get There

Plan to fly in to either Narita or Haneda Airport. Click here for details on how to get to the hotel from the airport.

Big Tip - If you can organise your flights into Haneda Airport - you can get to Shinagawa in 24 minutes of travel time. For those coming in from Narita, there is an Express train to Shinagawa, which takes 90 minutes. A taxi from Narita is over $200, so plan your airport-to-hotel transport accordingly.

Check-in ideally Monday/Tuesday ready for Tuesday night dinner and fly out Saturday morning.

We chose Japan to accommodate those who wanted to potentially plan a larger trip around this one. Either on your own or with family and friends. Shinagawa Railway Station is located across the street (by internal walkway) from The Strings, and can get you to various locations such as Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe in a matter of hours.

Note: Please factor in potential flight delays when booking your flights. Recent experiences of flight delays may continue into 2023.
Plan to arrive early and build in extra layover time between flights if possible.
