ExhibitionStage #2-5 Beyond the Company Name: What People Who Get Chosen as Individuals Do at the Dinner Table
For advertising and marketing professionals who value business dinners and meeting new people, and for anyone who feels that the more AI makes work efficient, the more it matters who you choose to work with.
When AI can answer almost any question, where is business actually decided? Ruriko Kojima, who works under her own name; Toyolog, who has built a wide network through dining out alongside his main career; and Ryu Hamasaki of TERIYAKI Inc., who visits more than 1,500 restaurants a year and has hosted over 140 sushi dinner events. These three have built relationships without relying on a company name. With no moderator, they speak as equals and put questions to one another. What does dining out give back to your work? What sets apart the people others want to meet again? And what do they do to turn a single dinner into the next opportunity?
You will leave with practical changes to make at your very next business dinner, so that people want to see you again even without your company's name behind you. From how to extend an invitation and choose a restaurant to what to do after the meal, these are concrete tips you can use starting tomorrow.
