AMD Symposium 2026 Sets November 10 Date For Overseas Content Push
The government's New Cool Japan Strategy targets a 20 trillion yen overseas market by 2033, and this program puts market data, export support, and consulting practice on the same stage rather than leaving the export argument at the level of image.

The Digital Media Association will hold AMD Symposium 2026 on November 10, 2026, a hybrid event on the overseas expansion of Japan-originated content. Speakers include Megumi Onouchi of Human Media, Mari Tanaka of JETRO, and Akihiko Iwasaki of PwC Consulting. A second-half panel, moderated by Takeshi Natsuno, adds JETRO's Yoshiharu Nakazawa. Venue seats are limited to members; the online stream is free with advance registration.
The session list splits into three talks and one panel. Onouchi presents 2025 sales and revenue figures for Japanese content abroad; Tanaka covers the current state of overseas expansion; Iwasaki addresses what companies and practitioners need to do. Natsuno then moderates a panel with Onouchi, Iwasaki, and Nakazawa.
Participation runs 15:00 to 17:30 on November 10, 2026. The venue is open to AMD members only, while the online stream is free to general viewers who register in advance. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is among the planned supporters.
