What is Developers Summit / Women Developers Summit?
Developers Summit (Dev Summit) is a conference-style event for software developers, held by Shoei-sha since 2003.
Regional events have been held in Kansai since 2011 and Fukuoka since 2015, a summer event since 2012, and a spin-off event by women speakers, "Women Developers Summit," since 2021.
The event's mission is to "make developers stars and accelerate the world's updates." It aims not only to make speakers stars but also to inspire positive action among participants, earning respect from organizations, society, and those around them, so that all developers become stars.
What is Enterprise IT Women's Forum?
Enterprise IT Women's Forum is a conference organized by the EnterpriseZine editorial department since 2025, targeting women in information systems, IT, and DX departments. It is an event derived from the serial project "Mayumi Sakai's 'Enterprise IT Women' Visit Report" (https://enterprisezine.jp/enterpriseitwomen), aiming to support the success of women IT leaders in companies and to provide opportunities for mutual exchange and development.
The first event was held in Tokyo in January 2025, with about 50 participants including CIOs, executives, and leaders. Due to its popularity, it was also held in Osaka in September of the same year. Both events were limited to women participants, providing an opportunity for cross-company exchange.
