AI CROSS and KDDI: Celebrating RCS Innovation

In an exciting collaboration, AI CROSS Inc. and KDDI Corporation are set to host an exclusive offline conference focused on RCS, scheduled for May 18, 2026. This completely invitation-only event will take place at KDDI's headquarters in Minato City, Tokyo, providing a unique opportunity for businesses engaged in RCS and SMS to gain insights into the latest market trends and advancements in technology.

Conference Details and Goals

The upcoming conference targets companies that have established RCS official accounts or are actively utilizing SMS. Participants will be privy to practical information that typically resides within closed circles, enriching their understanding of:

• - The latest market dynamics and trends in RCS
• - Real-world success stories from KDDI's own RCS campaigns
• - Innovative strategies and techniques that can be directly applied to their operations

The keynote presentations will feature insights from KDDI, showcasing both domestic and international market trends, alongside current RCS utilization examples from their internal campaigns. Additionally, guest speakers will present tangible results and case studies, including how major credit card companies are transitioning traditional mailing approaches to digital formats using RCS.

Discovering RCS Latest Features with "Absolute Reach! RCS"

The conference will introduce AI CROSS's advanced service, "Absolute Reach! RCS," where attendees will learn about the forthcoming features that promise to transform customer engagement effectively. This platform leverages rich content capabilities, enabling businesses to send images, videos, and interactive elements through standard messaging applications – thus enhancing the overall customer experience.

Networking Opportunities and Exclusive Campaign

After the seminar portion, participants will have the chance to engage in a networking event that encourages interaction between speakers and attendees. Light refreshments and drinks will be provided, crafting an ideal environment for sharing insights and networking among peers. Furthermore, attendees will also have access to exclusive promotional campaigns, making their participation even more rewarding.

Background: The Evolution of SMS to RCS

Despite the ongoing prevalence of smartphones, SMS remains a crucial channel for businesses due to its high open rates and accessibility without requiring additional applications. However, many companies are reaching limitations in delivering enriched customer experiences solely through text. This shift has sparked a growing interest in RCS, which allows marketers to send engaging multimedia content in a standardized messaging format.

Globally, RCS is gaining traction across various sectors, including e-commerce and finance, and is being adopted more extensively in both Europe and Asia. Japan's telecommunications sector is quickly adapting, paving the way for a smoother transition from SMS to RCS as businesses realize the significant advantages it offers in customer interactions.

Looking Ahead to a Promising Future

AI CROSS aims to strengthen its position in the corporate messaging market through strategic partnerships with Japanese telecommunications companies, including KDDI. By capitalizing on its existing SMS customer base and facilitating their shift to RCS, AI CROSS seeks to expand customer loyalty while unlocking new revenue opportunities. The anticipated growth of the RCS market further positions AI CROSS as a leading force, committed to enhancing corporate value in the coming years.

The planned conference is a vital part of these strategic efforts.
