What is the key to success for running a big event? Reflecting on The Plant's first booth experience at the 13th Japan IT Week

Hello everyone! On October 26~28th, we participated in the 13th Japan IT Week Expo held at Makuhari Messe. Thank you to everyone that visited our booth and responded to our survey!

Thanks to everyone's support, 'EC Cafe by The Plant' was a great success. Our booth was crowded with visitors throughout the event, and many passersby even requested to have a tour!

This event has been no easy journey, as we had been preparing for over a year to participate in what is dubbed the largest IT event in Japan. From brainstorming with copywriters to working with interior designers, the whole team worked together to come up with the theme and booth designs from scratch.

Not stopping at simply exhibiting our EC solutions to passersby, the team wanted to convey our passion and craftsmanship for technology, as well as showcase the inclusive nature of our company culture. That is how the "EC CAFÉ by The Plant" concept was born; a special cafe space overflowing with greenery where we could take consultations and answer questions about omnichannel solutions in a comfortable and inspiring setting.

However, our success was not only due to the meticulous planning and discussions we had as a team. If you looked closely at our booth, you may have recognized five illustrations decorated around the walls. Each representing the initials of our company name 'PLANT'.

The above 5 pledges of The Plant represent our belief that has taken root in our company culture. We listen to our clients and employees and develop a favorable environment that enables creativity and innovation. Our solutions are original and tailored to suit specific business needs. That is the message we wanted to convey during the IT week, along with showcasing our many E-commerce and digital solutions. As a result, we received many consultations and positive feedback. This was a great experience for the team who gathered for the occasion, breaking our remote working style for the event.

At The Plant, we have many staff from different cultural backgrounds, and we believe that it is natural for everyone to have different opinions and ways of thinking. However, with respect for each other, and with a common goal, we were able to make this event a success by believing in the 5 pledges of The Plant, which has truly become ingrained in our way of working. As a team, we will continue to grow and deliver the best digital solutions to our clients while upholding these pledges.
