Discover the Future of Professional Services at the 2026 Summit

On October 2, 2026, the largest professional services event in Japan, Professional Services Summit 2026, will take place both online and in-person at a venue in Tokyo. This event is organized by Money Forward, Inc., aiming to showcase the latest advancements in the professional services industry through practical discussions and demonstrations of AI technologies.

The evolution of technology, particularly Generative AI, has significantly transformed the landscape of everyday operations, making AI an indispensable part of our professional lives. Law firms and other professional offices are now challenged to move beyond merely familiarizing themselves with AI to actively incorporating it into their operations. The summit will center on the theme of “AI and the Future of Professional Services”, providing a platform for learning, sharing, and developing practical skills suitable for the evolving landscape.

A Unique Experience: Learn, Experience, and Connect

The summit will offer content structured around three core components: learning, experiencing, and connecting. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about successful AI applications and operational transformations through engaging sessions. This year, there will be a significant expansion of the exhibition area, enabling participants to physically interact with service interfaces and experience demonstrations firsthand. Moreover, there will be networking opportunities for sharing daily challenges in office management and discussing future initiatives.

Program Highlights

During the opening session, Hiroshi Nagai, the Executive Officer of Money Forward, will present a live demonstration of the latest features and discuss the upcoming development roadmap. A special dialogue session will feature Kentaro Kawabe, the former Chairman of LINE Yahoo Corporation, alongside Yosuke Tsuji, the CEO of Money Forward, discussing the topic of “From Large Corporate Management to AI Solo Entrepreneurship”, where they will explore the implications of AI for modern management and organizational structures.

Furthermore, sessions focusing on practical implementation are set to include discussions on “The Order of Steps to Achieve AI Adoption and Integration in Organizations”, led by Shin’ya Fukuoka, Director at Cashmo Co., and Kyohei Hosoda from the SMB business planning department.
