Event Overview
Willgate, Inc. will take part in the upcoming conference titled "Marketing LEADERS 100 - Discard Common Sense for Accelerated Breakthrough Growth” hosted by Expert Partners Marketing. This gathering will occur from July 28 to July 31, 2023, and will feature key industry figures sharing insights on how to achieve rapid business growth through effective organizational transformation.

On July 29, two prominent speakers will engage in a dialogue: Masanori Bo, a Partner from Live Consulting, and Ryo Yoshioka, Executive Director and Co-founder of Willgate.
