Business Events Tokyo recently announced that the city has won bids to host both the 9th International Symposium on Meniere’s Disease and Inner Ear Disorders (MENIERE 2027) and the One Young World Summit 2027.
The 9th International Symposium on Meniere’s Disease and Inner Ear Disorders (MENIERE 2027) runs from February 24-27, 2027, expecting 1,000 delegates from Japan and abroad. This symposium will be a key platform for experts in Neuro-otology to present the latest research.
This marks the symposium’s second return to Japan since its 1981 inception in Germany, following a 2010 Kyoto gathering. Tokyo’s bid succeeded due to its attractions, international accessibility, and significant support from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Later in the year, from September 28 to October 1, 2027, Tokyo will host the One Young World Summit for the first time in Japan at the Tokyo International Forum. Over 2,000 young leaders from more than 190 countries are anticipated, and delegates will debate and share solutions for global issues alongside respected international leaders.
Kate Robertson, co-founder at One Young World, stated: “We are thrilled to bring the One Young World Summit to Tokyo in 2027. Tokyo is a beacon of global leadership, innovation, and cultural depth, and shares our belief in the power of young people to shape a better future.
“The Summit will be one of Japan’s most international gatherings in recent years, a powerful opportunity to connect the next generation of leaders with the companies and institutions ready to back their vision. We are proud to work with our partners in Japan to deliver what promises to be an unforgettable Summit.”
