Exploring Resilience in Supply Chains at SFX'26 with Special Speaker Yasutaro Matsuki

Supply Chain Future Experience 2026 (SFX'26) - Set for April 24, 2026

The upcoming SFX'26 conference, organized by Spectee, is gearing up to be a significant event aimed at discussing the future and resilience of supply chains. Scheduled for April 24, 2026, the conference will take place in a hybrid format, featuring both an offline venue in Shibuya and online streaming.

Keynote Speaker: Yasutaro Matsuki

One of the highlights of the event will be the keynote speech by renowned soccer commentator Yasutaro Matsuki. Drawing parallels between soccer and supply chain management, Matsuki will delve into themes of team strategies and resilience, particularly in unpredictable environments marked by challenges such as geopolitical risks and natural disasters.

Soccer, a sport that thrives on rapid changes and decisive actions, mirrors the complexities of modern supply chain management (SCM). Matsuki’s insights, drawn from his extensive experience as a former member of Japan's national soccer team, promise to inspire leaders and professionals to develop a strong sense of team management and never-give-up leadership.

Experience the Energy of In-Person Networking

SFX has evolved significantly since its first iteration in 2023, which was held entirely online. Responding to requests for more interactive experiences, this year introduces the opportunity for attendees to engage directly with speakers and each other at the Shibuya venue.
Participants can look forward to an electric atmosphere in the sessions and a networking event post-conference at 6 PM, aimed at fostering new collaborative opportunities across industries. This face-to-face interaction is sure to enhance the overall conference experience.

A Diverse Lineup of Industry Leaders

In addition to Matsuki, the conference will feature Seiji Onozuka, a partner at Roland Berger, who will present a keynote speech, alongside a dialogue with management consultant Takanori Sakaguchi. Attendees can also benefit from practical SCM and BCP case studies introduced by pioneering companies like Asuene. The event promises an abundance of insights and discussions that cater to the current challenges faced in the supply chain landscape.
