Nagoya 1995

JALT 1995 was held in Nagoya and it was our first big conference to exhibit in as a company. We featured the ABAX Workbook for New Words and Expressions and the ABAX Miniature Letter Cards, as that was all we had.

Hiroshima 1996

The venue was at the conference center beside the Peace Park, which meant conference participants were within walking distance of all restaurants for post-conference relaxing.

Hamamatsu 1997

JALT 1997 was held in Hamamatsu at the ACT City convention complex. Hamamatsu, home to famed "Unagi Pie, cooked eel in pastry, was a popular choice amongst all the participants.

Omiya 1998

JALT 1998 was held at the Sonic City complex in Omiya. Just a short train ride north of Tokyo, the Sonic City, being right beside the station was a very convenient choice.

Maebashi 1999

Jalt 1999 was held in Maebashi in the Green Dome, which in its other life is a velodrome. It was a little strange to have the conference in a velodrome, however it gave the conference a special atmosphere.

Shizuoka 2000

JALT 2000 was held in the Granship conference center which is right beside Higashi Shizuoka station. Many people found it to be a very convenient conference site.

Kitakyushu 2001

JALT was in the southern island of Kyushu for its 2001 Annual conference.

Shizuoka 2002

JALT 2002 saw us back at the Granship conference center enjoying the hospitality of the people of Shizuoka once again.

Shizuoka 2003

Back to the Granship for 2003 saw the addition of the International Food Fair, which was well appreciated by all the conference participants

Nara 2004

Everybody agreed. This was a good one. The location lent a fine ambience, many good presentations and great speakers made this one of the better attended events in recent Jalt history.

Shizuoka 2005

Shizuoka once again hosted JALT and as always the city was gracious and the site was good. The food fair was back once again, providing a great spot for plenty of post conference unwinding!

Kitakyushu 2006

We're perhaps jumping the gun a bit with Kitakyushu for 2006 as it's still some time away, however mark your calendars for early November and see you in Kitakyushu.
