GLASIAOUS Next 2026

■Background of the event
While Generative AI can instantly answer any question, the increasingly complex global business environment, fraught with geopolitical risks, a weak yen, and regulations in various countries, presents situations where data and general solutions alone are insufficient. This forum will feature practitioners and experts who have overcome difficult situations, focusing on accounting, finance, and management control for companies operating overseas. Based on real-world examples and insights from the field that go beyond general solutions, the forum will offer hints for future management and business reforms.

■ Overview of "GLASIAOUS Next 2026: Practical Knowledge for Global Management - How to Succeed in the Era of Geopolitics, AI, and a Weak Yen"
This forum will feature keynote and special lectures, as well as three sessions: "Global Management Strategy (Line A)," "Global Management Control (Line B)," and "GLASIAOUS Implementation Cases and Methods (Line C)."
