Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to broadcast dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Izan Co., Ltd.'.
The dream held by Izan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto; CEO: Koji Inoue), which operates the MICE-themed web media "MICE TIMES ONLINE", is to "make MICE an admired industry."
MICE is an industry that moves cities, connects with the world, and energizes regions. Through international conferences, exhibitions, corporate events, and incentive travel, it plays a role in supporting human exchange, business creation, and the revitalization of regional economies. It is also closely related to important themes such as global expansion, regional revitalization, startups, SDGs, and well-being.
On the other hand, for the younger generation, including students, MICE has not yet become a widely known career option. You cannot aim for a world you do not know. That is why we want to create the first point of contact where MICE and the next generation meet, conveying the appeal and potential of this industry from an earlier stage.
One of those initiatives is the 'MICE ZINE', the first career support ZINE in the MICE industry. MICE ZINE was launched as a project aiming to create 'My First MICE' for next-generation talent.
By delivering the structure of the industry, types of jobs, and real voices of the people involved in an easy-to-understand manner, we aim to transform MICE, which has not been a choice until now, into a 'world they can aim for.'

'MICE ZINE' can be installed for free at universities and MICE facilities nationwide.
The inaugural issue was published in November 2025, and as of March 2026, it is installed in over 80 universities, vocational schools, and MICE facilities nationwide. For the next issue in early summer 2026, we plan to install it in 100 locations, looking ahead to expanding it to a scale of 200 locations. Rather than students learning about MICE for the first time when it's time for job hunting, we will expand the environment where they can experience this industry at an earlier timing.
