CARTA Holdings Sponsors Tech Conference for Students in Japan: What to Expect

CARTA Holdings Takes a Leading Role at Geek Festival 2025

CARTA Holdings, a leading company based in Tokyo, has announced its participation as a platinum sponsor for the Geek Festival 2025—a major tech conference aimed at students. Scheduled for October 11-12, 2025, this year’s festival will take place both online and at a hybrid venue in Tokyo, drawing attention due to its significant theme: What Technical Skills Will Survive in the Age of AI?

Three distinguished engineers, including CARTA's own Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kentaro Suzuki, will share their insights during the conference. They will be joined by Takuma Hayasaka, a data science engineer from Telesy, and Hiromi Mitsuoka, a software engineer from Digitalio. Together, these experts will discuss how engineering knowledge can evolve in the rapidly changing landscape driven by artificial intelligence.

What Will Be Discussed?

The discussion will focus on the definition of enduring technical skills in the context of AI advancements. The speakers represent diverse engineering backgrounds: a second-year engineer who has successfully managed an infrastructural transfer for a longstanding company, a fifth-year data scientist who has secured a patent since joining a startup, and a new graduate CTO overseeing 17 different projects. Each will share their unique perspective on how they navigate and propel their respective fields.

With such varied experiences, the session promises to offer valuable insights into how engineers can contribute to business evolution through technical prowess. Attendees can expect an engaging debate and a clear understanding of what it means to engineer for the future.

Interactive Booth Experience

In addition to the enlightening talks, CARTA Holdings will host an interactive booth at the venue. True to its commitment to nurturing full-cycle engineers, the booth will feature an exciting activity called the Full-Cycle Roulette. Attendees will have the opportunity to win exclusive novelties based on the roll of a dice, which ensures an engaging and fun experience while networking with fellow student engineers.
