Digital Knowledge New Year Conference 2026

On January 23, 2026, Digital Knowledge, Japan's first e-learning specialized solution company, will host its New Year Conference in Tokyo. Established in 1995 and celebrating its 30th anniversary, the conference aims to investigate the current state of AI in education and training, particularly in light of advancements in generative AI.

The educational training sector is undergoing a significant transformation due to the rapid evolution of generative AI. This conference will break down how AI has shifted from conceptual and verification phases to practical implementation and operational strategies in educational settings. No longer is AI simply a tool for automating and streamlining material creation; it now plays a crucial role in quality control, multilingual support, and the personal tailoring of educational resources to meet the unique needs of individual learners.

The Concept of 'Teaching Material AI Roadmap'

This conference will focus on the idea of 'Teaching Material AI', which supports all stages of educational content from planning and production to operation and evaluation. The primary theme will be the 'Teaching Material AI Roadmap', which addresses the question: how can we leverage AI to evolve educational materials? Through this theme, various multifaceted perspectives regarding AI’s role in shaping educational training will be shared and discussed.

Building on the Success of the Autumn Conference

This conference serves as an updated version of the highly successful 'Autumn Conference' held in October 2025, which generated considerable interest within and beyond the industry. By following the key themes that gathered attention in corporate training and higher education, the New Year Conference will delve deeper into practical discussions on implementation strategies for AI in educational contexts.

Program Details Coming Soon

The conference will feature several talks concerning the latest developments in AI within educational training and anticipate future trends, all centered around the Teaching Material AI Roadmap. Updates on program specifics and speaker line-ups will be provided through Digital Knowledge's website and newsletters leading up to the event.
