Major 'Recruitment Ultra Camp 2026' Conference to Be Held in Kyoto and Fukuoka

The renowned 'Recruitment Ultra Camp 2026,' organized by One Career Inc., will return after a successful inaugural event in 2025. This year, the conference will take place in two cities - Kyoto on October 14, 2026, and Fukuoka on December 9, 2026. The primary objective remains to tackle the pressing issue of labor shortages in Japan by redefining recruitment strategies.

Event Background

The lack of workers has escalated into a structural issue affecting Japanese society, with an estimated labor shortage of approximately 630,000 in 2025, projected to balloon to around 3.4 million by 2030. Such a crisis demands innovative approaches to recruitment, as companies face increasing difficulty in attracting the right talent. During the inaugural event, around 1,300 HR professionals and CHROs gathered in Kyoto, achieving an impressive participant satisfaction rate of 95.5%. This high rating showcased the event's value in updating and enhancing recruitment practices.

In response to the growing demand for collaboration and dialogue among businesses across various sectors, the 2026 conference expands its scope to two major hubs, ensuring a richer exchange of ideas and updates on recruitment.

Concept and Goals

The theme for the 'Recruitment Ultra Camp 2026' is “Open Up Recruitment, and Go Beyond It.” It features a diverse array of speakers from various fields, including marketing, branding, finance, sales, public relations, design, and artificial intelligence. This multidisciplinary approach aims to provide insights that extend beyond traditional recruitment methods, helping attendees to discover new perspectives and solutions.

Both events expect a combined attendance of up to 2,000 people, forming one of Japan's largest communities focused on recruitment and innovation in hiring practices.
