The conference arrives as Japanese companies weigh AI spending that comes on top of personnel costs, a burden immedio CEO Hideki Hamada calls "cost-on-top." He contrasts this with the U.S., where dedicated GTM engineers are rebuilding go-to-market processes with AI agents and generating growth with small teams. Fujitsu's keynote offers a domestic counterpoint: its digital sales organization, begun in 2020 with three people, used AI to connect lead discovery through deal creation and expanded to about 130 people. Panelists from LayerX and TechTouch will discuss not only successes but also areas they could not hand over to AI and operations they stopped, while Sansan's Bill One unit and NOTA cover marketing-side automation. immedio plans to unveil a new service at the event.
