The Media Innovation Conference 2027 will be held March 10-11, 2027, at Akasaka Intercity Conference, with double the venue size, four tracks, and over 50 guests. The event is now accepting session proposals from the public, a change from previous years where the management team curated sessions. An advisory board has also been established. The conference, which started in 2025, saw approximately 1,000 participants in 2026.
The conference's 2026 edition drew 65% manager-level or higher attendees, according to the organizers. Sponsorship from 11 companies supported the previous event, and new sponsors are being sought. The session proposal deadline is end of August. The event will feature a Media Future Track for young participants and a Media Innovation Awards ceremony. Parties are planned for both days.
