Overview

In 2020 Tokyo will host the summer Olympics and Paralympics Games. This is an opportunity for the metropolis, and for Japan, itself to “brand” itself better. We will analyse these issues during a panel discussion with two experts, Professors Magdalena Florek and Nancy Snow and then open up the floor for discussions.
