On Wednesday, 30 September, the ANZCCJ’s Food, Agriculture and Hospitality Committee (FAHC) hosted a networking and catch-up event at Platform 9 in Pullman Hotel, Tamachi.

Tim Barnstable, Chair of the FAHC, opened the event with a warm welcome and introduction of special guests Derek Baines and Scott Walker. Derek Baines recently assumed the role of Tourism Australia’s Country Manager (Japan), and Scott Walker is the new MLA Regional General Manager (Japan & Korea). It was also a pleasure for the ANZCCJ to welcome Gerard Adams back to Japan after his time working in the US.

Guests enjoyed an evening of relaxed conversations and networking, with gourmet three-course meals provided by Platform 9.
