Innovative Business Networking at the 17th Salon de CEO Hosted by DYM Group

Embracing Innovation in Business: Highlights from the 17th Salon de CEO

On January 13, 2026, DYM Group, a multifaceted enterprise focusing on human resources, web services, and international medical business, hosted the 17th Salon de CEO in Shinagawa, Tokyo. Former president of Yoshimoto Creative Agency, Nobuhiro Mizutani, was this year's guest speaker, bringing a wealth of knowledge from the entertainment industry, emphasizing the importance of engaging business communication.

Purpose of the Salon de CEO

Salon de CEO is designed as a platform for executives to have candid conversations, exchange experiences, and deepen their connections. Previously known as the President's Club, the event has seen numerous CEOs and business leaders come together to share insights. The rebranding to Salon de CEO reflects a commitment to facilitating profound discussions and fostering genuine connections among participants.

Engaging Business through Creative Communication

The theme of this year’s event was “Energizing Business through Creative Information Dissemination.” Mizutani emphasized that “interesting does not equate to humor.” He articulated the need for businesses to capture people's emotions and attention, positioning that as a cornerstone for successful negotiations, recruiting efforts, and brand building.

Insights into Decision-Making and Organizational Culture

Mizutani shared his extensive experience as a decision-maker in various roles, addressing the challenges he faced while leading organizations and the essential philosophies that shaped their corporate culture. His insights into the decision-making process within the unpredictable landscape of the entertainment sector offered valuable lessons to business leaders across various industries. He recounted specific anecdotes that highlighted the significance of understanding people and their motivations.

Fostering Connections Among Executives

The event not only featured Mizutani's talks but also included ample time for networking. Participants had the opportunity to engage in discussions about their businesses and operational challenges. This informal dialogue format distinguishes Salon de CEO from conventional lecture-style presentations. Interactions among leaders from diverse sectors led to new perspectives and valuable connections that could inspire future collaborations.
