Society of Japanese Value Engineering - VE

2010 SJVE Conference Steering Committee will be making every effort to accommodate our International attendees and provide them with more opportunity to listen to Japanese presentations and to network with Japanese speakers.

Here we have two new plans for this initiative:

More opportunity to listen to Japanese sessions of interest

1. All the proposals of Japanese technical papers were judged by Conference Paper Screening Committee and accepted papers are as shown below.


2. Also, a “Request Form for Japanese Sessions” in which you can select your preferences of Japanese presentations you would like to listen to is attached here.


3. For those of you who will be attending the conference, please complete this Form and send it back to us.


4. Based on your response, we will allot the presentations with larger number of request in one track or two to provide English simultaneous translation so that you will have more chance to attend Japanese sessions of your interest.

However, the number of sessions allowed in a track is limited and your request may not be met. So, we are having a new session “Meeting with Japanese Speakers”. This is based on one-on-one meeting (wherever possible) between you and the speaker of your selected presentation, which could not be allocated in the track with English translation.

One-on-one meeting with Japanese speaker

1. A meeting room will be open during 11:30 – 14:30 on October 27, 2010.


2. We will let you know if the presentation you requested was not allotted to the track with English translation and ask to whom you would like to meet personally and discuss the presentation.


3. We will set up a meeting with the speaker of your request (time TBA). A translator will be available during the meeting.


4. Duration of a meeting depends on the number of the meeting requested.


5. If you would like to meet more than one speaker, it will be based on the availability.
