Breaking Through Work Barriers: The First Ever 'Secretary Night 100' Event

Breaking Barriers: 'Secretary Night 100'

In an ambitious effort to unite secretaries from various backgrounds, Secretary Inc. is set to host the inaugural event, 'Secretary Night 100,' on October 10, 2025. Taking place in the stunning Aoyama Saint Grace Cathedral in Tokyo, this gathering aims to encourage collaboration among full-time, freelance, and online secretaries, fostering dialogue around career development and diverse working styles.

As the landscape for secretarial work expands, it has evolved from traditional office environments to remote roles and freelance gigs. However, the connections among professionals in this field have not kept pace with this change. The need for networking opportunities that transcend job classifications and employment statuses has never been more vital, especially in Japan, where many women face career disruptions due to life events such as childbirth and caregiving.

The issue of 'career interruption' arises frequently, primarily affecting women who leave the workforce for significant caregiving responsibilities. Secretaries play a crucial role in business operations, yet their career paths remain ambiguous, leading to a lack of recognition of their diversity and sustainability. To combat this social challenge, 'Secretary Night 100' is designed to present new role models for women who refuse to compromise on their careers, creating insight into the value of secretarial work and expanding women's opportunities in the workforce.
