Happy Hour for AX/DX Promoters: A Unique Networking Experience

On August 28, Geek's Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, will host a complimentary networking event specifically for AX/DX promoters, named "AX/DX Promoters' Happy Hour." This event offers an excellent opportunity for IT engineers and personnel in charge of IT recruitment to connect and share insights on advancing digital initiatives in their organizations.

Understanding the Event's Purpose

As part of their ongoing commitment to support IT professionals, Geek's regularly organizes events and seminars tailored to engineers and their recruiters. This particular event will focus on the theme of AX/DX promotion, featuring industry frontrunners who successfully utilize AI and data in their operations.

Among our special guests are:

The event's aim is to foster discussions surrounding the real-world challenges and successes attendees face when implementing AX/DX strategies in their organizations.

Why Attend?

For those grappling with the cost-effectiveness of AI tools, implementing company-wide AI solutions, or seeking innovative ways to incorporate AI into their services, this event is a valuable space to connect. Attendees looking to exchange information and network with peers in AX/DX promotion are highly encouraged to participate.

As AI rapidly evolves, merely adopting technology isn't sufficient; it’s crucial to establish mechanisms to embed these technologies within organizations and promote their use effectively.
