A Groundbreaking Shift in the Event Industry: Tech for Impact Summit

As societal challenges become increasingly prominent, social enterprises are stepping up to spearhead changes that foster a more sustainable future. Socialus Inc. (Tokyo, Japan), led by CEO Seira Yun, is making headlines with their upcoming international conference, the Tech for Impact Summit, scheduled for October 7, 2025. This event aims to confront the significant issue of wastefulness that plagues the event industry by adopting innovative and sustainable practices.

Investing in Less: A Bold Strategy for Sustainability

The summit's approach is clear: to maximize the value offered to attendees, we must invest in “less.” This philosophy drives our commitment to reducing waste, minimizing environmental impact, and prioritizing reusable materials. Our belief is that the act of gathering people should not equate to harming the planet, and thus, the Tech for Impact Summit is committed to conducting events responsibly.

Concrete Steps Towards Zero Waste

To actualize our commitment to sustainability, we are introducing several initiatives:
1. Thoughtful Design: Our booths, developed in collaboration with Samurai, a leading firm in Osaka, are constructed from 100% recyclable reinforced cardboard. These booths not only ensure high durability but also feature a sophisticated design appropriate for professional settings.
2. Thorough Reuse: Last year's booths will be reused, eliminating the need for new production and conserving valuable resources.
3. Principled Decision-Making: All decisions made during this planning process weigh environmental costs over short-term profits. Gone are the days when cardboard booths were deemed unsuitable for professional venues. We are investing in beautiful solutions that are also sustainable. You can catch a glimpse of our vision in action here.

Despite the significant costs associated with such initiatives, we are confident this is a necessary investment for our future.
