Whittingdale will deliver his speech on the former, while Shimazu will tell delegates about the opportunities to investors from Japan's hosting of the Rugby World Cup.
Other speakers include England Rugby head coach Eddie Jones, World Rugby chief executive Brett Gosper, British Olympics Association Bill Sweeney and UK Athletics chair Ed Warner.
