DIGIDAY BRAND LEADERS 2026 Announced for December 3: Discussing Customer Trust in the AI Era Under the Theme 'Designing 'Liking' in 2026'

Digiday Japan, operated by Medialogy Co., Ltd., a group company of TNL MediaGene (NASDAQ: TNMG), will hold the marketing conference 'DIGIDAY BRAND LEADERS 2026' on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at Happo-en (Shirokanedai, Tokyo).

This year's theme is 'Designing 'Liking' in 2026'

As generative AI and data utilization advance, the relationship between companies and customers is becoming more complex. While experiences optimized by recommendations and personalization become the norm, the reason brands are chosen is shifting from mere functional value to 'relationships' built on transparency and authenticity.

In an era where anyone can generate information in the same way, how can brands build uniqueness and gain customer trust and empathy? And how can companies design the emotion of 'liking'?

This conference will bring together brand companies, marketers, agencies, and technology partners to discuss new brand-customer relationships in the AI era. Through keynote sessions, workshops, roundtable discussions, and networking, the future of marketing will be explored from multiple perspectives.
