DX Conferences and Events in Japan
Digital transformation (DX) events in Japan are mostly trade shows aimed at corporate IT managers and executives. Large expos focus on comparing products and moving to business meetings, while regional events tend to be symposium-style.
Go to a large expo in the Tokyo area to compare many vendors at once, or a regional edition to hear how companies near you have adopted new systems.
