Too to Host 'IT surf seminar 2026 - Learning from the Realities of IT Departments: Employee-Centric IT Operations' on July 10, 2026, in Hibiya, Tokyo

Creative market general trading company Too Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 3-4-7 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kota Ishii; hereinafter 'Too') will host the 'IT surf seminar 2026 - Learning from the Realities of IT Departments: Employee-Centric IT Operations' as an in-person event on Friday, July 10, 2026, in Hibiya, Tokyo. The IT surf seminar is a collaborative forum where participants from different companies come together to envision more creative and effective information systems departments.

IT systems are not valuable merely by being implemented—they only deliver value when actively used in the field. However, in real-world operations, IT professionals often struggle with the gap between ideals and reality, such as balancing management and usability, increasing operational burdens, and misalignment with employee needs.

This year’s IT surf seminar will focus on the actual challenges faced by IT departments and explore how employee-centric IT operations are being implemented. Through real stories—including both successes and ongoing challenges—the seminar will provide actionable insights for improving internal IT strategies. Attendees will learn how organizations make decisions, drive adoption, and overcome obstacles in daily operations.

Join us to hear firsthand experiences and authentic voices from companies actively navigating change in this dynamic era.
