The Economist Conferences Presents
Date: February 10, 2004
Venue: Hotel Okura, Tokyo
Financial near-crisis has spurred major adjustments to patient co-payments, the long-awaited Japanese version of Drug Related Groups
on the pharmaceutical payment-side has now been instituted on a trial basis, and plans are underway for an even more fundamental
adjustment in this area in April 2004. And in the delivery of healthcare, intense debate is underway over deregulation, privatisation,
and increased accountability in the better management of hospitals, with battle-lines drawn over proponents and critics of the status quo.
With potential changes in the political landscape, however, and a concerted backlash to the scope of the reform agenda,
there is also danger that this momentum could be derailed, much to the detriment of the increasingly-involved – and concerned
– Japanese public.
The GLOBE Foundation of Canada Presents
Date: Mar. 31, - Apr. 2, 2004
Venue: Convention and Exhibition Centre, Vancouver, Canada
From March 31 to April 2, 2004, more than 1800 conference delegates from around the world involved in the business of the environment
will convene to discuss major developments in corporate sustainability, energy policy, climate change and building sustainable cities
since the 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg.

Dr. de Bono's Six Thinking Hats
Date: December 5, 2003
Venue: Tokyo American Club
