The 2025 Assembly of the CMI will take place in Tokyo, Japan , preceded by a three-day conference organized jointly by the CMI and the Japanese MLA. This is in accord with the tradition and historical format of holding a full international Conference only once every four years, with Seminars and Colloquia in intermediate years, coinciding with our annual Assembly. The last Conference was held in New York City in 2016, and it is noteworthy that the first CMI Conference in Asia was hosted by the Japanese MLA in Tokyo in 1969.
As many of you know, Tokyo is a cosmopolitan, exciting and energizing city on the eastern coast of the island of Honshu (the largest of the four islands that make up Japan), and has world-class museums, restaurants and hotels. The programme for Tokyo begins with a welcome cocktail reception for delegates and their partners at the Hotel New Otani in the Akasaka district of Tokyo, an elegant and iconic hotel which has a 400-year-old Japanese Garden on its grounds.
We have reserved a block of rooms at the Hotel New Otani, where the Assembly and Conference programme will take place.
There will be a break in the Conference programme after the Friday morning session, to allow delegates and their partners to stretch their legs and go on an excursion.
Tokyo is awaiting to delight and mesmerize you, and we look forward to seeing all of you at the Assembly and Conference.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tokyo.
