❝The Power of Video: Build Brands, Engage Customers and Increase Business
We are pleased to invite you to our next World Class Speaking™ Night on Wednesday May 22—in the great surroundings of the Tokyo American Club!
The dining buffet & drink ticket is ¥3,500 prepaid; ¥4,500 at the door - including a special champagne tasting conducted by Ned Goodwin, the only Master of Wine in Japan! 
The World Class Speaking Nights are informal and fun events for people interested in improving their speaking, communication and presentation skills—featuring special guest speakers, World Class Speaking alumni, drinks and a dining buffet.
Our keynote speaker, Mike DeJong, is the producer and host of brand new Business in Japan Television - the first and only online video channel dedicated to business in Japan - launched in February 2013. Mike is a professional speaker by background—and an accomplished writer, broadcaster, and former NHK English news anchor from 2008-2010. And lead guitarist for a Tokyo rock band in his spare time!
Smart companies are increasingly using video as one of the most effective ways to engage customers, build their brands and do more business. However, how do you make best use of video online? What are the Do's and Don'ts of video? Mike will address these and other questions related to using video for business in his talk—and with his professional speaker and TV background, we look forward to an engaging presentation!
