Experts Deep Dive into Generative AI for School Administration and DX Talent Development for 2030 at Free Special Session for Middle and High School Teachers in Akihabara (August 6)

Good Works Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yū Suai) will host a special seminar titled 'Big Real Session [Panel Discussion Connecting Middle Schools, High Schools, Universities, and Society]' on Thursday, August 6, 2026, at the TKP Akihabara Conference Center. The seminar will be held in two identical sessions—morning and afternoon—with on-site participation limited to the first 100 attendees per session (free of charge).

Last summer’s event attracted over 300 teachers and received significant acclaim. This year, the content has been further enhanced to connect the perspectives of schools (middle and high), universities, and the real-world (IT companies) into a cohesive narrative, offering a comprehensive session that addresses both the future of education and practical solutions for current challenges—all within a single day.

Purpose and Background of the Seminar

Today, the education sector faces a critical question: 'Why must schools change now?' This seminar will approach this issue from four distinct perspectives—society, universities, schools, and industry—to conduct a multifaceted examination of education in 2030. The program is designed to deliver both a forward-looking vision—clarifying the alignment between talent expectations from society and universities and the goals of the new curriculum guidelines—and practical strategies for on-the-ground implementation, such as organizational digital transformation (DX) and the use of generative AI.
