JAPAN DISTRICT UPDATE In keeping with Japan's well-known and successful management method, "PDCA" (Plan-Do-Check-Act), BICSI Japan has begun preparing for the upcoming 2019 BICSI Japan Conference & Exhibition. The event takes place on 21 November at the Sola City Conference Center in Ochanomizu Sora City, Japan. We received valuable input after meeting with last year's 2018 Japan Conference sponsors and will announce further conference details shortly. Other activities are also on the horizon. In fact, from April 2019 to March 2020, BICSI Japan has lined up more than 20 local events. These include a factory tour, hands-on workshop, new technical presentations and standards information, with venues in Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa being planned.

The event is swiftly taking shape as we gather exhibitors and sponsors and put together the agenda. The theme this year is "Creating the Network Infrastructure Connecting Tomorrow's World." This one-day event hosts nearly 15 technical sessions, including three different panel discussions. Presentation topics fall under one of the following tracks: • Standards and Now Future Developments • The Impact of 5G and IoT on the Network Infrastructure • Smart Buildings – Issues and Future-Proofing Limited Sponsorships—Act Fast! The key is to choose your sponsorship quickly while you still have the most options. With only three Platinum/Anchor Sponsorships and six Gold Sponsorships, they won't last. To make increased sponsorship more affordable, each package includes a 10-20 percent discount off additionally purchased sponsorships at this event. All exhibitor/sponsor packages include organization branding before, during and after the event. 2019 BICSI UK & IRELAND DISTRICT CONFERENCE 12 June • America Square Conference Centre • London, UK
