Building California-Japan Business Connections

JCCNC’s Building California-Japan Business Connections is the Japanese Chamber of Commerce of Northern California’s International Week night: chamber networking paired with introductions to JCCNC and JETRO San Francisco. The room is built for professionals exploring Japan market entry, partnerships, and Bay Area-Japan commercial relationships - people who already have a Japan-side problem, not a vague interest in “Asia.” Partners on the flyer also include the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco, which is why the Financial District law-firm setting matters: consular, trade, and corporate Japan density in one Market Street room.

Sake and wine tastings are in the program, which can make the night feel social. The host stack is still the filter. JCCNC is the Northern California Japan-business chamber; JETRO San Francisco is the trade-organization adjacency for market entry and partnership conversations. If your work sits in Japan trade, Japanese corporate partners, or JETRO-adjacent deals, this is the midweek International Week slot that matches that corridor. Morrison Foerster at 425 Market Street is Financial District / Market Street downtown SF - chamber and consular geography, with tasting hospitality built into the evening.

Wednesday, August 12, 2026, 5:00-7:00 PM at Morrison Foerster, 425 Market Street, San Francisco. Listed pricing: $15 for SF Chamber or JCCNC members and $25 general admission. Eventbrite calls out a registration deadline of August 3, 2026; confirm current inventory and any deadline notes before you buy, because International Week rooms can tighten and listed cutoffs do not always match remaining tickets. Official path is Tickets on Eventbrite.

Member pricing is worth using if you already sit in SF Chamber or JCCNC. Non-members should still budget the $25 general-admission tier and expect a chamber corridor night. Register early enough that the August 3 note and live inventory both still work; walk-up assumptions are a bad bet once International Week is underway.
