International Convention Bureau in Chiba (CCB-IC) managed to succeed in inviting the 99th Kiwanis International Annual General Meeting to Japan for the first time ever.
The 99th Annual General Meeting of Kiwanis International, which is one of the three major voluntary social service organizations in the world, was already decided to be held in the Asia-Pacific Region, but the exact country and city to host it was still undetermined.
In this situation, after direct negotiations, the organization’s headquarters in the US chose Chiba city in Chiba Prefecture, having taken into consideration the proximity of Tokyo, Narita and Haneda airports and the entire area’s highly valued support and enthusiasm.
