Topic:

In 1998, Real Estate Mogul Donald Trump, who owns the Miss Universe pageant with NBC, asked French businesswoman Ines Ligron to take charge of Miss Universe in Japan. Miss Ligron not only took charge; she revamped the whole concept, elevating it in status and turning it into a gala event with sponsorship from leading foreign and Japanese companies.

In this presentation, Miss Ligron will share with us the numerous activities that take place behind the scene of the Miss Universe Pageant and her personal journey – as a foreigner, a woman and a mother of 3 - through years of determination, perseverance and hard work in making Miss Universe Japan a successful business.

Speaker: Ines Ligron
