Experience Sharing at the Third M&A Honest Night

On September 17, 2026, a unique networking event known as the “Third M&A Honest Night” will be hosted at Sanbou Bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This exclusive gathering is organized by Kenji Araya, CEO of Kenji Sanbou Inc., a company dedicated to fostering a vibrant business community.

What is the M&A Honest Night?

The M&A Honest Night is designed to create a safe and intimate environment where business leaders can share their real experiences related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Participants will have the opportunity to interact with individuals who have either sold their companies or are considering selling, ensuring a wealth of knowledge and insight is available at their fingertips.

Why This Event Matters

M&A can be a complex and sometimes daunting process. Many business owners wonder about the challenges that come post-acquisition or have questions about the selling process. This event addresses these common concerns by bringing together those who have firsthand experience. It allows attendees to ask specific questions, hear compelling stories, and gain insights from those who have navigated the M&A landscape.

Key Features of the Event

The Third M&A Honest Night will feature several unique aspects:
Intimate Atmosphere: A small, invite-only event designed to promote open dialogue among participants.
Real Talks from Experienced Leaders: Attendees will hear from experienced M&A professionals who will candidly discuss what they wish they had known during their own journeys.
Small Group Discussions: Attendees will be seated at tables that include experienced business owners to facilitate engaging conversations while enjoying good food and drink.
Ground Rules for Safety: To ensure everyone feels comfortable sharing, specific ground rules will be in place to protect attendees’ confidentiality and foster a supportive environment.
