2010 WLN Meeting – Japan

This year's APEC Women Leaders Network (WLN) meeting will be held in Tokyo, Japan on 19-21 September.

The organisers have advised that a dedicated site for the meeting will go live in June (next month). Apart from providing more details about the event, the site will also start accepting online registrations at that stage. The official WLN site at http://www.apecwln.org will have the latest info from the organisers. We will feed those info here, too, as they become available.

With the meeting only 4 months away, no doubt there are many of us who are now starting to plan our trips — booking flights and accommodation, setting up meetings, identifying things to do/to see while in Tokyo/Japan, wondering which types of clothing to bring and if our mobile phones and laptops will not go AWOL on us during the trip. And, of course, the logistics of being wired during the trip. Certainly, these are some of my own questions, as I have not been to Japan myself.

I have initiated the '2010 WLN' tag to cover discussions and issues related to planning our trips to Tokyo in September. Let's share tips and perhaps even arrange to meet during this trip. Take time to create your profiles so that others will have a clearer idea if your personal and professional interests match with theirs.

Grace Chu Te I have been involved with WLN since 2007 and now manage WLN's official website at apecWLN.org. I started getting into e-things (and became irreversibly "addicted" to them) in 2004 after a professional lifetime as a business/economic analyst. With APEC Women I'm trying to build an online community where we can meet and connect so that we can do small and big things together that help improve the status of women everywhere.
