Enhancing Learning: Japan Management Association's 'manaable'
The Japan Management Association (JMA), headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has introduced an upgraded seminar management system named "manaable," designed to streamline the seminar registration and attendance process. This new system will be officially launched on March 6, 2026, and will progressively be utilized for seminars starting in April 2026.
Background of the New System
In response to the growing demands for human resource development in corporations and organizations, JMA's public seminars have evolved to include various participation methods such as in-person attendance, online participation, and on-demand learning. To enhance the convenience for administrators handling applications and participants enrolled in these programs, the organization has decided to implement the innovative seminar management system, "manaable."
What is 'manaable'?
"Manaable" is a cloud-based seminar management system that allows organizations to comprehensively manage seminar applications, attendance, and billing online. Through personalized dashboards, both administrators and participants can access learning management system (LMS) features that allow for tracking attendance information, checking history, and issuing certificates upon course completion.
This system is provided by manaable Co., Ltd., located in Shibuya, Tokyo.
