Kong AI Connectivity Day in Fukuoka to Discuss Enterprise Infrastructure Strategy for AI Agents, Focusing on "Data Connectivity"

Kong Inc., a leader in API and AI connectivity technology, will hold "Kong AI Connectivity Day in Fukuoka" on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at ONE FUKUOKA CONFERENCE HALL in Fukuoka City. The event's theme is enterprise infrastructure strategy in the era of AI agents. The success of AI adoption in businesses increasingly depends on how AI connects with corporate data. Kong defines the foundation connecting AI and data as the "AI Data Path," which supplies real-time context to AI agents and supports overall AI utilization, including cost management and governance. The event will feature a keynote by Daiki Ariizumi, President of Kong Inc., outlining the vision for AI Connectivity and future infrastructure strategies. Speakers from NTT Data, Classmethod Inc., Minna Bank, Ltd., and Scalar Inc. will share practical insights. The event will discuss the current state, future challenges, and concrete implementation steps for AI agent utilization with leading companies and engineers in the Kyushu area. The event will introduce the "AI Data Path" architecture and explain the use of "MCP (Model Context Protocol)" for supplying context to AI agents, case studies of modernizing core systems using APIs, and practical technical sessions by Kong engineers. A panel discussion on DX and AI utilization is also planned. A networking session will follow the main sessions. The event is free, but pre-registration is required. It targets strategy/planning departments and infrastructure/architects.
