This summit is an event exploring how to redesign workflows and organizational structures to transform the back office from a mere "processing department" into an "organization that drives management," now that AI agents have entered the practical stage of autonomously performing tasks.

On the day of the event, many participants from administrative departments, including management, corporate planning, finance and accounting, human resources and labor, information systems, and DX promotion, attended. Active information exchange took place during the networking sessions and experience booths following each session, and specific consultations regarding internal AI utilization rules and practical implementation were received from participants, indicating a high level of interest in AI utilization in the back office domain.

The online stream will allow you to watch all four sessions that discussed back office transformation in the age of AI agents from the perspectives of management, internal AI utilization, human resources and organization, and accounting.
