Keizai Summer Networking in the Park

Keizai Silicon Valley’s annual Summer Networking in the Park is a US-Japan business and professional picnic at Cuesta Park in Mountain View. Keizai is the Peninsula Japan-corridor network; the summer format mixes that professional graph with families and friends outdoors, which is why kids tiers exist alongside adult tickets. BBQ comes from the Silicon Valley BBQ Association, and recurring social programming - Bingo, Suika Wari - is on the host flyer. Useful for Japan market operators, Japanese corporate transplants, and Bay Area pros who work the corridor and want Peninsula density without a downtown chamber ballroom.

Cuesta Park picnic areas 3 and 4 at 615 Cuesta Drive sit in Mountain View on the Peninsula / South Bay edge - park lawns, not a Market Street reception. Adult and kids tier pricing is posted on Eventbrite and aggregator mirrors; late-window and walk-in rates rise as deadlines pass, and walk-ins may find food or space limited. Confirm live ticket status on Eventbrite before you go. Official CTA: Tickets on Eventbrite. Keizai’s own site (keizai.org) is the extra host link if you need chapter context beyond the ticket page.

Saturday, August 1, 2026, 12:00 noon-3:00 PM at Cuesta Park, Picnic Areas 3 and 4, 615 Cuesta Drive, Mountain View. Bring a clear introduction; this is a picnic network where hallway time is literally picnic-table time. Families are part of the design, so the professional conversation still has to be portable. Parking at a popular Mountain View park on a Saturday midday fills; arrive with buffer once you have a ticket.

Peninsula US-Japan operators who already know Keizai should treat this as the summer relationship afternoon. Buy before late-window pricing, and do not count on walk-in food or space. Adult and kids tiers are both on Eventbrite; pick the one that matches who is actually coming, then re-check inventory before Saturday.
