Voice to Value 2026 Conference: Bridging AI and Business

On June 25, 2026, IVRy will proudly host the "Voice to Value 2026: Navigating the Realities of AI in Business" conference at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. This event will delve into the current state of AI implementations across various Japanese industries, highlighting the transition from merely contemplating AI solutions to actively integrating them into business practices.

At the forefront of this initiative is IVRy, a company headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, which specializes in the conversational voice AI SaaS called "Aivory." CEO Akonishi Ryouga leads the charge with a mission to enhance customer interactions through advanced AI technologies. The impetus behind the conference comes from the growing necessity for businesses to harness the power of AI, especially with the rapid proliferation of generative AI tools.

While the spread of AI technologies has gained momentum, many companies face hurdles in fully embedding these solutions into their respective operations. One critical aspect of this integration is the communication landscape between companies and their customers, often regarded as the "last mile" of customer connection. Despite the predominance of phone-based interactions in Japan, companies have yet to fully leverage digital communication and the analysis of Voice of Customer (VoC) data to understand client sentiments and behaviors deeper.

This conference will provide a pivotal opportunity for industry leaders and stakeholders to share practical insights into AI application and VoC utilization, contributing to better decision-making in businesses. It aims to empower attendees to outline the next steps for their respective companies in the AI landscape.
