Global, hosted in Japan
Why hold Perennial Gathering in Asia?
Rooted in Asian experiences and values, Perennial Gathering is shaped by those who call this region home, creating a space that reflects its unique wisdom and spirit. By hosting Perennial Gathering in Asia, we create a unique opportunity to:
- Engage Asia’s Changemakers and Philanthropists – Including more voices that are shaping the future of the region and beyond.
- Catalyze Global Connections – Bringing together leaders from around the world to foster cross-cultural collaboration and learning, especially between Asia and Africa.
- Amplify Impact – Leveraging Asia’s growth, diversity, and creativity to inspire solutions with global relevance.
- Fill a Gap – Asia has long needed new options for a different type of professional gathering/conference.
While the Gathering is global in scope, Asia offers fertile ground for fresh perspectives, new partnerships, and transformative ideas that ripple far beyond the region.
Why Karuizawa, Japan?
Karuizawa is a forest town known for its beauty, stillness, and long tradition as a place of renewal. Just a short bullet train ride from Tokyo, it offers both ease of access and a profound sense of retreat.
Nestled at the foot of Mt. Asama, Karuizawa has long drawn artists, thinkers, and changemakers seeking inspiration and clarity. Its cool mountain air, quiet walking paths, and deep connection to nature invite reflection, spaciousness, and new ways of seeing.
This is why we gather here—because the place itself mirrors the spirit of Perennial: rooted, reflective, and open to what’s possible.
