To companies providing services to local governments ── General Incorporated Association Local Government DX Promotion Council (GDX) starts recruiting speaking companies for "GDX Theme-based Seminars" where GDX handles all planning, promotion, and operation.

The General Incorporated Association Local Government DX Promotion Council (hereinafter "GDX") has strengthened its structural capacity to host "GDX Theme-based Seminars," an online seminar series sponsored by GDX aimed at delivering useful information for the promotion of digital transformation (DX) in local governments, and has begun recruiting companies to speak. All seminar planning, audience acquisition, operation, and day-of facilitation will be handled by GDX. For companies that provide services to local governments, speaking at these seminars serves as an opportunity to deliver their company's expertise and solutions to local government officials nationwide.

What is a "GDX Theme-based Seminar"? A GDX Theme-based Seminar is an online seminar sponsored by GDX, which selects themes of high interest on the ground in local governments and delivers the knowledge and advanced case studies of companies with proven track records in those fields. GDX has previously planned and hosted seminars on a variety of themes, such as hometown tax donations, disaster prevention DX, generative AI utilization, and amendments to the Travel Expenses Act, and many local government officials have participated. Building on this track record, we are fully expanding the hosting of theme-based seminars as a place to provide information that directly leads to solving local government issues.

How companies can speak at the seminars For this seminar, GDX handles all of the following. It is a system that allows companies to focus solely on their presentation (service introduction and case study explanation).

- Theme selection Based on the results of various fact-finding surveys conducted by GDX and consultations from local governments, we propose themes that answer what local governments "want to know now."

- Audience acquisition Leveraging the local government network held by GDX, we conduct individual outreach via press release distribution, announcements via email newsletters, websites, and SNS, as well as phone calls and emails to relevant local government departments.

- Operation and day-of facilitation GDX handles everything from preparing the streaming environment and managing participants to acting as the MC on the day of the event.

- Minimum guaranteed attendees We guarantee a certain number of applicants, and in the unlikely event that the number falls below the guarantee, we will issue a refund. Please note that GDX will review the content of the presentation in advance and make adjustments to ensure it provides information that contributes to solving local government issues. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the quality of the seminars so that local government employees can participate with peace of mind.

Recommended for these types of companies This service is highly recommended for companies with the following challenges: - Want to widely PR their services to local governments nationwide. - Want to host a seminar for local governments, but lack the resources and know-how for planning, attracting audiences, and operating. - Want to create an initial point of contact with local governments and expand awareness. - Want an opportunity to hear the needs and challenges of local governments directly. - Want to increase credibility by having a third-party organization host the seminar rather than hosting it themselves.

Future prospects Through the regular hosting of these seminars, GDX will expand opportunities for local governments to efficiently access the information they need, while simultaneously promoting the creation of a system where the expertise of companies contributing to local government DX reaches the municipalities that need it.
