What happened
SAP Concur is holding an all-day event on July 16, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo titled "SAP Concur Fusion Exchange Tokyo," featuring keynote remarks by Ryohei Yanagi, former Eisai executive vice president and CFO, alongside case studies from companies including Ebara and Asahi Kasei.
Why it matters
The event centers on how finance and accounting teams can use AI and data to strengthen governance while viewing expenses as value-creation investments rather than costs—a shift that the organizers argue can improve non-financial value metrics and boost shareholder returns in an uncertain business environment.
What to watch
Attendance is free with advance registration, and the event runs 9:15 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. Yanagi's keynote (9:45–10:25 a.m.) will focus on how data-driven controls and business transformation in the finance function connect to enterprise value in the AI era.
