Upcoming Event: Breakthrough GRID Meetup & Year-End Party 2025

On December 16, 2025, the highly anticipated "Breakthrough GRID Meetup & Year-End Party 2025 - Behind Decision-Making" organized by UPSIDER will take place in Tokyo. This event is specially crafted for business leaders looking to expand their understanding of the decision-making processes within organizations.

Event Overview

The Meetup promises an engaging discussion featuring two dynamic business leaders who have successfully navigated their companies from startup phases to publicly traded entities. Instead of following a traditional lecture format, this innovative event invites direct interaction where attendees, consisting of department heads and responsible managers, can pose questions that reveal the underlying struggles, doubts, criteria for judgment, and critical turning points related to decision-making.

Notably, this event emphasizes actionable insights that attendees can apply to their decision-making processes starting from the next day, rather than presenting it as a conflict between management and the frontline. The focus will be on sharing real-life experiences and strategies that contribute to effective business operations.

Additionally, the event will recognize the member who best embodies the GRID value of "Give" through the "GRID Best GIVER" award, celebrating contribution and community spirit. The latter half of the event will offer a networking session designed to foster spontaneous interactions between corporate and business sides, ensuring a blend of experiences.
