Industry:
Body (first 8000 characters): LayerX Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yoshinori Fukushima; hereinafter "LayerX") will host the "Back Office AI Summit ~Redesigning Back Office in the Era of AI Agents Completing Tasks~" at Otemachi Mitsui Hall on Friday, June 19, 2026.
This summit is a venue to explore how to transform business workflows and organizations themselves, beyond merely "introducing efficiency tools," now that AI agents have entered a practical stage of autonomously performing tasks.
Background
The integration of AI agents into business processes has reached a practical stage. However, many companies are still limited to efficiency improvements, and not many cases have fully committed to rebuilding their business workflows. At this summit, with the concept of "Redesigning Back Office in the Era of AI Agents Completing Tasks," we will share practical examples of how to eliminate "remaining manual tasks" in areas such as accounting and human resources/labor, and how to transform organizations from "processing departments" to "organizations that drive management."
