Introduction to OUTCOME 2026
On October 29, 2026, Japan will witness a groundbreaking event, the 'OUTCOME 2026' B2B conference, focusing on customer outcomes. Hosted by UPDATA, a company specializing in AI workspaces for customer success, and in
collaboration with the Japan Customer Success Association (JCSA), this conference aims to shed light on the transition towards an outcome-oriented business model in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.
The Growing Importance of Customer Outcomes
The concept of customer outcomes in B2B business is increasingly relevant as AI technology continues to develop. More companies are shifting from traditional service-driven assessments to recognizing the inherent value of the results achieved for their customers. The world is adjusting to a new norm where
business success is gauged based on the actual outcomes delivered to the customers.
Across the globe, organizations are implementing outcome-based billing models and creating new roles deeply committed to customer success, reflecting a significant paradigm shift that resonates across industries.
What to Expect from OUTCOME 2026
Keynote and Special Sessions
The event features two main keynote speeches and two special lectures delving into four key areas where the outcome shift is making a considerable impact: outcome-based billing, forward-deployed engineers (FDE), outcome management, and account management.
Unique Competitions and Workshops
In addition to the lectures, attendees will have unique opportunities such as the 'Customer Success Grand Championship 2026,' where Japan’s top customer success manager (CSM) will be crowned. There will also be practical workshops helping businesses define their customer outcomes.
Networking Opportunities
Networking and socializing will play a central role as participants will gather for a convivial post-session event with food and drinks, allowing for the forging of valuable connections among B2B professionals.
Noteworthy Speakers
The conference will incorporate insights from industry leaders such as Masanobu Okamura, CEO of UPDATA, and Hisanori Yamada, chairman of the JCSA, who will discuss why the emphasis on customer outcomes is more critical than ever.
To further explore the various topics, panel discussions will bring forward speakers from successful organizations, detailing their experiences and approaches in adapting to this transformative shift.
