Summer Conference 2026 at Pacifico Yokohama: "Coloring the Summer Together"

The "Summer Conference 2026" will be held at Pacifico Yokohama starting July 18, 2026. This event serves as a platform for Japan JC to showcase its initiatives and for members nationwide to learn and connect. The theme for 2026 is "Coloring the Summer Together," emphasizing the desire for each participant to shine as an individual while co-creating a vibrant summer with communities and fellow members.

Learning Programs Centered Around "University"

Under the overarching concept of "University," the conference is structured like an academic year. An "Opening Ceremony" will take place on July 18th at 12:00 PM in the National Convention Hall, followed by a "Commencement Ceremony" on July 19th at the same venue and time. Participation in these ceremonies is considered essential to fully enjoy the event.

Diverse Forums, Seminars, and the Family-Friendly Summer Con Fest

The event will feature numerous forums and seminars that introduce Japan JC's activities and their outcomes. These sessions are designed to inspire participants to reflect on the future of their local regions and to take action. A highlight is the "Summer Con Fest Learning Our Future Selves with Family," now in its fourth year. This year's theme is "Carbon Neutrality," and it offers experiential events in a festival-like atmosphere, suitable for all ages, allowing families to learn together. It can also serve as inspiration for summer break research projects, providing an engaging way to think about future living and environmental issues.

Deepen Your Learning with the "Credit System"

A unique "Credit System" is implemented for this conference. Participation in forums, seminars, the festival, and various on-site experiences earn "credits." Accumulating these credits unlocks benefits such as a certificate of completion, AI reports, and priority entry. This system encourages active learning and aims to provide a comprehensive "learning experience" throughout the event.
