Unite Tokyo 2026
The Japanese edition of Unity Technologies' annual conference for game developers, returning after a seven-year absence since 2019. That last edition drew roughly 5,000 attendees over two days, making it among Japan's largest Unity gatherings and a concentrated venue for engine updates and studio development case studies. The venue is Bellesalle Shibuya Garden, with four ticket tiers on sale.
TechRAMEN 2026 Conference
A handmade tech conference in Hokkaido's Kamikawa region that calls itself a roundtable for people who love technology. It values a setting where guests and first-time attendees learn from each other on equal terms, and its 2026 theme holds that in an era when AI lets anyone build anything, the fundamentals and meeting people matter more. Over a pre-event night and a main day it runs hands-on sessions, talks and lightning talks under ramen-themed slot names. After editions in Asahikawa in 2024 and 2025, it moves to Furano in 2026.
Accessibility Conference Fukuoka 2026
A rare single-theme regional conference devoted to web accessibility and inclusive design. It has drawn more than 500 registrants every year since its 2023 debut. Admission is free and the event streams both a standard and an access-supported feed on YouTube, so the operation itself embodies its subject. It incorporated as a general incorporated association in August 2025.
