JTB Communication Design Earns Prestigious Award

In a remarkable achievement, JTB Communication Design has been awarded the prestigious "International Conference Incentive Award" by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) for its role in attracting and organizing the 2028 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. This recognition serves as a testament to JTB’s commitment to enhancing Japan’s global reputation as a premier destination for international conferences.

The International Conference Incentive Award has been an annual honor since its inception in 2008, designed to promote a better understanding of the significance and impact of hosting international meetings. The award acknowledges conferences that excel in their initiatives for attracting and hosting events. The 2028 IEEE conference, in particular, was recognized for its innovative integration of academic and industrial perspectives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Features such as new session arrangements, collaborations with leading tech companies in the vicinity, and events aimed at fostering connections among students and young researchers helped solidify its selection for this prestigious accolade.

As the largest international conference in the field of signal processing, organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which boasts over 500,000 members worldwide, the 2028 event promises to be a significant gathering. Scheduled to take place from May 29 to June 2, 2028, in Tokyo, the conference is expected to draw around 5,000 participants, including 4,000 attendees from abroad representing over 70 countries. The host organizing committee, ICASSP2028, looks to engage a diverse spectrum of professionals in the electrical and information disciplines, enhancing collaboration and innovation through this global platform.

JTB Communication Design played an integral role during the bidding process, collaborating closely with Tokyo to develop a comprehensive hosting plan. Their efforts included accommodating multiple inspections from the international headquarters, ensuring a smooth transition from a concept to a concrete plan for hosting the conference. Their extensive planning and dedication served to highlight Tokyo’s allure as a hosting destination, which ultimately contributed to successfully securing this major conference.

JCD’s commitment does not end with the award. Looking ahead, they are strategizing to support the organizers every step of the way leading up to the conference in 2028, ensuring that it runs smoothly and achieves its intended success. JCD aims to be the closest partner for the organizers, providing insights and assistance that will enhance the overall experience of the participants while boosting Japan's stature in the international conference arena.
