The story behind IVS’ offline return after the pandemic.

“We have prepared programs that will break down boundaries between speakers and participants and help participants connect with each other in the spacious and nature-rich environment in Nasu.”

“However, I realized that offline is essential to connect deeply with people, and that was the main reason to hold this event in Nasu.”

“The concept of the event is ‘a three-day town for entrepreneurs in Nasu.’”

“Rather than one-way delivery of content, we create a place where each participant can act proactively and learn.”
