Asian AHRD Conference 2026 (AHRD Japan)

The 2026 Asian AHRD Conference brings HRD scholars and practitioners from across Asia and beyond to Tokyo under the theme ‘The Future of HRD: Reimagining Education, Work, and Society in the 21st Century.’ Alongside the main programme, a pre-conference BEVI certification workshop and a doctoral student workshop offer hands-on development for researchers and emerging scholars. Keynote sessions include Hosei University’s Professor Nobutaka Ishiyama. It’s a more academic counterpart to Asia’s corporate HR calendar, well suited to L&D leaders and researchers wanting to ground practice in current HRD scholarship.
