Corporate Biography

How was Nevada Japan Conference, Inc. formed?

Tokyo-based Media Land International, Inc. established its representative office in Nevada in 1997. One year later, they formed its subsidiary Nevada Corporation, Nevada Japan Conference, Inc..

Media Land International has dealt with tremendous volume of American products such as music, CDs, movies, computer software, food and apparels.

The origin of Media Land’s business goes back over sixty years.  Its sister company, Kyobashi Record center, one of the oldest music centers in Japan at that time, provided western culture products, especially records, to Japanese high end customers.

Why Las Vegas?

Based on its strong contacts, and its international trade and marketing experience, Media Land has been appreciated by clients for their expertise in consulting services toward building business relationships. Media Land foresaw the potential of Las Vegas as a “Convention Capital,” which would become a “One Stop Shop” where Japanese businesspeople could engage and meet with American businesspeople. Years later, Las Vegas has truly become the convention capital envisioned.  Today, direct flights from Japan's biggest air carrier to the seventh busiest airport in the U.S., McCarran Las Vegas International Airport, help NJC to maximize its “Bridge function” between Japan and the U.S.
