DX Leaders Conference 2025: Transforming the Future

On July 25, 2025, members of the corporate world will converge at the DX Leaders Conference held at the Akasaka Intercity Conference in Tokyo. Organized by Members, a leading company in supporting digital transformation (DX), this event is set to present invaluable case studies and insights from approximately ten major corporations in Japan. With the theme “Execution Creates Competitive Edge: Lessons from Leading Companies,” attendees will be able to engage in case sessions, roundtable discussions, and network with influential leaders in the DX space.

A Deep Dive into Digital Transformation

As businesses aggressively push for DX, challenges continue to surface. According to the 2025 Attack DX Reality Survey conducted by Members, it was found that nearly half of the surveyed companies are facing a significant shortage of skilled personnel to execute their DX strategies. Moreover, there exists a considerable gap in perceptions between different organizational roles regarding key priorities, and a mere 40% reported satisfactory levels in organizational culture and project achievement rates within their DX initiatives.

To tackle these challenges and foster fruitful DX initiatives, the upcoming conference aims to share practical strategies and insights from key business figures leading the charge in their organizations.

Leading Voices at the Conference

Prominent speakers and leaders expected to present include:

• - Naoki Iketeru, CDTO of Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan
• - Hidetaka Hashimoto, Executive Officer, Benesse Corporation
• - Gen Yamamoto, Director of Engagement Promotion at Toyota Connected, Inc.
• - Ayako Itagaki and Ryo Ueda from Rakuten Group
• - Takayuki Aihara, Department Manager at Seven Bank's ATM Solutions
• - Takehiro Sasaki, COO and Vice President of Sumitomo Mitsui Card Company

The conference will feature sessions that focus on real-world cases of DX, strategies for upskilling talent in finance, how sustainability aligns with digital transformation, and the integration of AI within corporate structures.

Networking and Collaboration

Expect opportunities to connect with industry leaders during networking sessions and booths showcasing AI, data utilization, UX, marketing, and more. Participants will engage with peers to exchange visions and strategies, fostering a collaborative environment essential for driving forward DX initiatives.
