1. Celebrate 15 years of agile community in Japan

RSG Tokyo is more than a conference; it's a shared experience that has shaped the Japanese and global agile landscape for over a decade. With 450 in-person attendees plus online participants, it's one of Japan's largest agile gatherings.

Expect a welcoming atmosphere where everyone is a participant, from organizers to sponsors to first-time attendees. The event's signature Open Space sessions bring this spirit to life, filling the venue with spontaneous collaboration and contagious energy.

This year's lineup features three visionary keynote speakers who are redefining what's possible in agile and beyond:

• Bjarte Bogsnes – Author of "Beyond Budgeting," sharing strategies to build adaptable, people-centered organizations.
• Shigeru Urushibara – Founder, engineer, and CEO, presenting "AI-Driven Development Era: Small Teams Changing the World."

3. Experience agile in action through coaching and connection

Looking for personal, hands-on guidance? The Coaching Clinic returns for 2026, offering free 15-minute coaching sessions with seasoned agile coaches. These drop-in sessions are a highlight for many attendees, sparking professional insights and connections that often last far beyond the event.

4. Access for all: hybrid format and translation services
