Regional Affiliate Gathering in Hamamatsu
The Japan Affiliate Council (JAO) will host a networking meeting in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, on October 29, 2026. The evening event focuses on local industry collaboration under the theme "Monetisation in Hamamatsu." The program is structured into two distinct segments designed to facilitate knowledge sharing among regional publishers and industry stakeholders.
The first half of the session features input and information sharing from three hosts: Shin Kanke of Small Life Inc. (known for "Wakatta Blog"), Satoshi Kaneda of Enmusubi Inc., and representatives from the JAO. This segment concludes with a panel discussion between the hosts addressing current monetization trends and regional market dynamics.
Interactive Format and Participation Rules
The second half of the meeting transitions into a networking format. Attendees will participate in a round of short self-introductions, where the use of blog names or real names remains optional to accommodate various privacy preferences. This is followed by an open exchange, Q&A session, and free-form discussion regarding affiliate marketing practices.
The event takes place at the Co-startup Space & Community FUSE, located in ZAZA CITY Hamamatsu. The venue is a five-minute walk from JR Hamamatsu station. Attendance is capped at 10 participants to ensure an intimate environment for discussion.
Registration is open to affiliates, bloggers, and influencers regardless of membership status. However, representatives from advertisers, Affiliate Service Providers (ASPs), and agencies must hold full JAO membership to attend. While the main session is free of charge, an optional networking dinner is scheduled following the formal program.
Registration closes on October 27, 2026, at noon JST, or earlier if the capacity limit is reached.
