The TOMODACHI Generation plays a crucial role in shaping the future of U.S.-Japan relations. Hear from speakers who are leaders in their fields, as they share their insights into the state of U.S.-Japan relations, the power of youth involvement, and the potential for this dynamic relationship in the years ahead. This Summit aims to inspire attendees with a vision of what is possible when young people take the reins in international relations and community empowerment, and it will provide a roadmap for the rich and varied discussions to follow.

​

The Next Generation Summit 2024 will take place in Tokyo on September 29, 2024.

The Summit is open to the general public, but preference will be given to TOMODACHI alumni and to the donors who have made these opportunities possible. 

​

New this year are "TSUNAGARI Hub" and "TOMODACHI Voice." 

TSUNAGARI Hub is where attendees have a chance to meet with TOMODACHI Generation supporters.  This trade show style event will allow alumni to build professional networks across various industries and promote collaboration. We will have 12 booths showcasing our sponsors, supporters and TOMODACHI Regional Frameworks.

At TOMODACHI Voice, participating alumni make presentations on various themes, such as their passions and new business ideas to improve society.  Presenters will receive feedback and insights from professional leaders.
