Kansai International Meishi Exchange 2026
The Kansai area’s premier networking event for the international business community returns on Friday 5 June.
The ACCJ’s annual Kansai International Meishi Exchange—or KIME—has set the benchmark for cross-chamber collaboration in the region, and the 2026 edition will be the most expansive yet. This gathering, coming on the heels of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai’s resounding success, keeps the regional energy going and promises exceptional visibility.
Members and friends of the ACCJ and 18 other Chambers of Commerce will meet in the Grand Ballroom on the second floor of Waldorf Astoria Osaka—the only Waldorf Astoria hotel in Japan. This is the perfect setting for genuine, high-value exchange, allowing you to showcase your organization, explore new markets, and forge cross-border partnerships.
Based on past editions, you can look forward to a diverse mix of professionals spanning manufacturing, technology, finance, hospitality, education, creative industries, and the public sector—all eager to connect.
Whether you are new to Kansai or a long-standing member of the international business community, we warmly invite you to join us at KIME 2026 and help make this the most vibrant gathering yet.
