Embracing AI: Join the AX Day 2026 August Conference

The upcoming AX Day 2026 August promises to be an insightful event held on August 4, 2026. Organized by Shoei Publishing, this online conference is dedicated to the advancement of AI in businesses, with a focus on fostering AI-native organizations. The event is free for participants but requires prior registration before August 3 at 1 PM. With limited slots available, early registration is encouraged.

Theme and Vision of AX Day 2026

The central theme for the event, titled "DIVE into the AX Wave! - Beyond Efficiency to Growing AI-Native Organizations," reflects the goal of transcending traditional efficiency measures to foster a culture where AI is integral to business strategies.

Expect a diverse lineup of esteemed speakers, including Yasutaka Fukuda, author of THE MODEL, and Hiroshi Kuwahara from Kao, who is spearheading their organizational digital transformation (DX) through AI. Furthermore, the session will feature Hideki Hasegawa, known for his dynamic approach as a 'warrior CIO'. These influencers will share valuable strategies on how to evolve organizations into AI-native environments.

Notable Sessions

One of the highlighted sessions from 3:40 PM to 4:10 PM will cover practical insights into AI implementation from DeNA and SoftBank. The session will be led by:

• - Ryosuke Kamo - Group Executive, AI & Data Strategy Division, DeNA Corporation
• - Masumi Nishihara - Senior Executive Officer, Corporate ASI Promotion Division, SoftBank Corporation

Despite predictions that 2026 will be a year dominated by AI implementation, some AI advocates are voicing concerns about slow integration and lack of tangible results within organizations. This discussion will explore the challenges faced by both companies, uncovering their approaches to overcoming obstacles in embedding AI across corporate cultures, and insights on redesigning workflows while considering security and governance issues.

Full Agenda

AX Day will feature a total of 11 sessions, making it convenient for attendees to join just one or multiple sessions of interest. Participants are encouraged to invite colleagues to collaborate and learn together during this engaging event.
